Dried Blood Lipid Assay: Home Collected Triglycerides Lab Test
| |
|
|
Already being used extensively for mass screening programs and for measurement of glucose, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, and steroids, dried blood on filter paper has been found useful for the measurement of such lipids as cholesterol and triglycerides.
Cholesterol and triglycerides are highly stable in dried serum and are readily transferable to a liquid phase.
The good agreement between values in dried serum and fresh blood samples supports the validity of the measurement of these analytes in dried serum (Clinical Chemistry. 2001;47:1113-1115).
The adaptation of lipid assays to dried blood has been found useful for many applications such as regular monitoring of cholesterol and triglycrides to prevent cardiovascular health problems.
Keeping that in mind many clients in our practice have found the following dried blood lipid assay exceptionally helpful.

BIOSAFE LIPID PANEL
>> Home Collected Triglycerides Test <<
FDA Approved, Certified, Clinical Laboratory Test
from a Simple Nick of the Finger
Convenient | Accurate | Insurance Reimbursement Code
|
This is a simple, but professional, clinical laboratory analysis that measures your blood lipid profile, namely:
- triglycerides
- total cholesterol
- HDL ("good") cholesterol, and
- calculated LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
By comparing your initial results to the results of subsequent tests, you can determine the progress you have made in lowering your blood fat levels, and, therefore, reducing your overall coronary risk.
|
|
As triglyceride levels are related to the time you ate and when you collected the sample, the triglyceride level must be what is called a "fasting level."
Fasting should begin 12 to 14 hours before the sample collection. This includes all beverages, although water is permitted.
No alcohol should be taken 24 hours before sample collection.
PLEASE NOTE: After a weekend of beer and pizza, Monday bloodwork readings tend to be higher than on the other days; therefore, take your weekend activities into account when having your blood triglycerides checked.
|
|
A Simple Nick of Your Finger
| |
|
The process of specimen (blood) collection is
- quick
- easy and virtually
- painless.
Using the special lancet (included in each Blood Collection Kit), a couple of drops of blood are taken from a nick of a finger and deposited onto a special collection card.
The collection card is then sent to the laboratory for analysis where the blood sample is tested.
|
|
It is important to follow the instructions in the Blood Collection Kit. To ensure a proper sample, the following suggestions should be taken into serious consideration:
- wash your hands with warm water
- rub your hands together for 10 seconds
- allow your arm to rest at your side for 30 seconds (standing may also help blood flow), and
- choose an area slightly off of center on the finger to be nicked (this will produce a better blood flow).
PLEASE NOTE: With every Blood Collection Kit, there are included two lancets. So if you do not get an adequate blood sample from the first finger nick you may still use the second lancet on another finger.

Home Collected Triglycerides Test, a simple, but professional, clinical laboratory analysis that measures your blood levels of cholesterol (total, HDL, LDL) along with triglycerides is:
- the first and only micro-sample lipid panel to exceed the performance standards of the NCEP, as demonstared through controlled clinical trials, and
- certified in 2002 by the Cholesterol Reference Method Laboratory Network, and above all
- FDA Approved.
The clinical laboratory where all testing is undertaken is fully certified - and continually inspected - by a CLIA approved inspection body.
A CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) certification requires a clinical laboratory to have:
- protocols for test methods
- performance specifications
- test report requirements, and
- maintaining patients' report information.
No disease can be contracted or transmitted with the dry blood spot collection method.
If you follow the instructions you are at no risk of receiving any transmittable disease from taking a sample with the Blood Collection Kit.
The personnel in the laboratory follow Universal Precautions when handling blood products, so their risk of contracting blood borne pathogens is extremely low.
|
|
The utmost effort and care are taken to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your test results which are mailed back to you in a form of an easy-to-read, understandable Laboratory Report.
All results are carefully reviewed by a licensed physician as the test produces numerical data rather than a simple "yes" or "no" answer. You can always call the toll-free Customer Service Hotline with your questions.
You may also purchase the test for someone else as a gift. The results will then go to that person.
If your doctor would like a copy of your test results, we suggest that you send him one.

Dry Blood Spot Values Vs. Whole Blood Values
| |
|
|
Dry blood spot values are equal to serum and/or whole blood values found in numerous clinical studies.
However, patient results from one lab to another cannot be directly compared because individual laboratories use different methods for testing, which can cause variations in results.
Therefore, your results of the dry blood Home Collected Triglycerides Test may be different from the last one you took in your doctor's office.
In order to decrease these possible test variances, it is always advisable to use the same laboratory for repeat medical testing.
PLEASE NOTE: Significant variations in blood test results can be also produced by basic body changes, when compared to the time elapsed between tests.

Nowhere else in this country can you get this quality, accuracy and convenience at this price.
As for my results, they agreed perfectly with the lab test at my doctor's office.
Why would anyone want to waste time at their doctor's office when you can get this superb test available online to any customer?
I'm recommending it to all my friends.

PLEASE NOTE: Although the test results provide important information, you should never adjust your medication (or medications) based on the test results alone. Always consult with your health care professional before making any changes in your current triglyceride/cholesterol treatment.

Home Collected Triglycerides Test is for you, if
- you have known elevated triglycerides and/or cholesterol levels and
- you already have evidence of cardiovascular health problems and/or
- you have two or more of the other cardiovascular risk factors.
If you are currently on a triglyceride-lowering program you may need to have your lipids re-tested as often as every 2- 3 months.
If you are diabetic, it is very important for you to have your triglycerides measured. Diabetes can increase triglycerides significantly, especially when your blood sugar is out of control.
In addition, you should get a thorough medical evaluation by a health care professional. You should also have a Liver Enzyme Panel test performed to determine if your blood lipid/triglycerides/cholesterol reduction program is working
effectively.

Remember, just because you don’t currently exhibit any signs of cardiovascular health problems, it doesn’t mean you won’t develop them.
Now is the best time for prevention. Otherwise, a high blood lipids (fats) level, as well as other risk factors, can lead to possible serious health problems in the future.
As high blood lipids are the risk factors for cardiovascular health problems that you can modify - don’t delay finding out if you’re at risk.
Your life is too important!
PLEASE NOTE:
At Full of Health, we recommend Home Collected Triglycerides Test because we find it the most beneficial to your lipid health in its category.
It is FDA-approved and the only micro-sample lipid panel to exceed the performance standards of the NCEP; no other self-collected test can make these claims.
