Presentation Transcript

  1. Measuring cholesterol by L-B • The Liebermann-Burchard method is used by the CDC to establish reference materials • Cholesterol esters are hydrolyzed and extracted into hexane prior to the L-B reaction

  2. Cholesteryl ester hydroxylase Cholesterol Cholesterol oxidase Choles-4-en-3-one + H2O2 Phenol 4-aminoantipyrine Peroxidase Quinoneimine dye (max500 nm) Enzymatic cholesterol methods Cholesterol esters • Enzymatic methods are most commonly adapted to automated chemistry analyzers • The reaction is not entirely specific for cholesterol, but interferences in serum are minimal

  3. Dextran sulfate HDL, IDL, LDL, VLDL HDL + (IDL, LDL, VLDL) Mg++ Measuring HDL cholesterol • Ultracentrifugation is the most accurate method • HDL has density 1.063 – 1.21 g/mL • Routine methods precipitate Apo-B-100 lipoprotein with a polyanion/divalent cation • Includes VLDL, IDL, Lp(a), LDL, and chylomicrons • Newer automated methods use a modified form of cholesterol esterase, which selectively reacts with HDL cholesterol

  4. HDL-C • Determined using an anti human-β-lipoprotein antibody that binds to non-HDL lipoproteins and allows the quantification of HDL-C by the presence of a cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase/peroxidase (CHE and CHO/POD) enzyme chromogen system • Need for saline dilution when the triglycerides >1000 mg/dL (11.3 mmol/L)

  5. HDL-C • Audit - 0/18 specimens with triglycerides >1000 mg/dL were diluted • So, we decided to dilute when triglycerides >1000 mg/dL • Re-audit - 0/17 specimens with triglycerides >1000 mg/dL (11.3 mmol/L) were diluted

  6. HDL-C • So, we decided to investigate the use of an automated alert for the technical staff via the LIS • Re-audit showed that of 21/25 specimens with triglycerides >1000 mg/dL were diluted

  7. HDL-C • Can we improve on this? • Middleware may automatically result in: • dilution • re-analysis • phoning of results

  8. Lipase Glycerokinase ATP Glycerol + FFAs Glycerophosphate + ADP Glycerophasphate oxidase Peroxidase Dihydroxyacetone + H2O2 Quinoneimine dye (max 500 nm) Measuring triglycerides Triglycerides • LDL is often estimated based on triglyceride concentration, using the Friedewald Equation: [LDL chol] = [Total chol] – [HDL chol] – [Triglyceride]/2.19

  10. How low should we go?

  11. INTRODUCTION • Atherosclerosis-related disease is the principal cause of mortality in the Western world • Atherosclerosis-related disease is destined to become the principal cause of worldwide morbidity by 2020

  12. INTRODUCTION • How do we identify which patients would benefit from cardiovascular risk factor intervention as universal pharmacological treatment is not • practically possible, • economically feasible nor • psychologically desirable

  13. INTRODUCTION • Do we treat individual risk factors? • Raised Cholesterol • Low HDL-C • Raised BP • What threshold?

  16. FRAMINGHAM EQUATIONS • Several sets of data • 1967 • 1973 • 1976 • 1991 • 1998 Cardiovascular disease risk profiles Am Heart J 1991; 121:293-8.

  17. FRAMINGHAM EQUATIONS • Within each set, there are different disease types • a CHD risk • b Stoke risk (inc TIA) • c Total cardiovascular disease risk • d MI • e Death from CHD • f Death from cardiovascular disease Cardiovascular disease risk profiles Am Heart J 1991; 121:293-8.

  22. FRAMINGHAM EQUATIONS • The Framingham equations are derived by parametric regression model of epidemiological data • The results produced are valid for populations • Each population coefficient in the risk equation is subject to a confidence interval Cardiovascular disease risk profiles Am Heart J 1991; 121:293-8.

  23. FRAMINGHAM EQUATIONS • Extrapolation to individuals is assumed by many • In addition, it is assumed that precise results can be obtained from one determination of risk factor status and thus neglect the role of variation.
