HDL-C Phosphotungstate - Lipid Subclass Applications

Dextran sulfate precipitation quantifies HDL-C (>40 mg/dL men) preventing non-HDL overestimation in metabolic syndrome patients.

Clinical laboratories confirm HDL/LDL ratio optimization guiding fenofibrate therapy. Specific precipitation prevents apoB interference.

Quality NCEP harmonization prevents direct HDL discordance. Precipitation method eliminates dextran artifact concerns.
