LaboratoryLipid and glucose panel - Serum or Plasma
Definition
This panel is used to order combination testing for lipids and glucose. It was created for, but is not limited in use to, the Abbott Cholestech LDX Analyzer, which can be used with multiple different cassettes for different combinations of lipid and glucose testing. This is a point of care device but the instrument separates the blood and uses plasma for analysis. Fasting specimens are preferred, and for random testing, the time since the last meal can be reported as part of this panel.
