HDL-CHOLESTEROLFAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIAEpidemiological evidence suggests that the ratio HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C)/total cholesterol (TC) or apolipoprotein A1 (apo A1)/apolipoprotein B (apo B) are good indicators of coronary heart disease risk. In investigating the distribution of these ratios in the...
The measured lipid parameters include LDL (low-density lipoprotein), HDL (high-density lipoprotein), TC (total cholesterol), and TG (triglycerides). Results 119 (15.5%) of the 767 patients developed GDM. On average, women who developed GDM were older, had a higher BMI, LDL, TC, and TG,...
HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein. This is the “good” cholesterol protein, and you want it to be high. In fact, the higher the better. To remember that you want HDL to be high, just think about the first letter. “H” is for high. “H” is also for helpful, as it moves...
Evaluating the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol (TC:HDL) helps evaluate risk of atherosclerosis, arterial stiffness, and cardiovascular disease. If total cholesterol is relatively high compared to HDL-cholesterol, then the benefits of HDL are reduced and risk of atherosclerosis and therefo...
Risk of CAD as measured by total cholesterol/HDL ratioStates that the ratio of total cholesterol (TC) to high density lipoproteins (HDL) is the best single indicator of risk for coronary arte...
AIMS. The total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio may carry additional information not available in more commonly used single cholesterol measures. Analysis of discordance between lipid parameters might help assess the impact of such additional information on the risk of...

Moreover, the mean value of HDL-C, LDL-C and cholesterol in maleswas greater than that of females. The LDL-C/HDL-C ratio in hypercholesterolaemic patients(3.1, 34.7%) as less than in CAD/MIpatients(4.49, 73.4%). Also this ratio in Ml group(4.9,93%) was greater than that of ...
We evaluated the effects of pneumatic tube system (PTS) transport rates and distances on routine hematology and coagulation analysis. PTS effects on centrifuged blood samples were also examined. The study was completed at Dicle University Hospital, which has the longest pneumatic tube system in Turkey...
