| name | Cholesterol.in LDL (real) [Mass/volume] in Serum or Plasma by VAP | ||
| description | Unlike "direct LDL" kits, the VAP method directly measures real LDL separately from Lp(a), IDL and VLDL. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Cholesterol.in LDL | ||
| property | MCnc = Mass Concentration | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
