    Comparison between the direct determination of LDL cholesterol and that estimated by equations in outpatients in a Private Laboratory of Metropolitan Lima, 2021

    Dyslipidemia is a growing concern in society, as the number of people with elevated cholesterol continues to rise, leading to cardiovascular diseases, arteriosclerosis, heart attacks, etc. Blood lipid levels are altered, such as excess cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and a decrease in high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Therefore, accurate and precise estimation is crucial for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients with dyslipidemia. This study arises from the clinical value of LDL-C, and clinical laboratories should have effective and standardized methods for routine measurement. The purpose of this research is to compare LDL-C values obtained via direct homogeneous determination and estimates using the Friedewald, Córdova, Martin, regression formula, and logarithmic equations in outpatient patients in a private laboratory. A data collection form with CT, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TG concentration data from adult patients in the Biochemistry area will be used.
