What this laboratory test evaluates
DetailsCardio IQ® Lipoprotein Fractionation, Ion Mobility is an advanced blood test that measures and separates lipoprotein particles (such as LDL, HDL, and VLDL) by size and concentration using ion mobility technology. This provides a detailed profile of cholesterol particle sizes, which can help assess cardiovascular risk more precisely than standard lipid panels. It is particularly useful for patients with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease.
What type of sample is required for this test?Serum
