Dried Blood Lipid Assay: Home Collected Triglycerides Lab Test
| |
|
|
Don't have your better lipid health prompted just by panic!
|
Even when your triglycerides are way up - off the chart at 800 mg/dL, or >9.0 mmol/L - you can't tell. There's no symptom. And that's what makes it so scary. Because no one feels badly with high triglycerides, a lot of people simply have no clue!
The only way you know you might have a problem that needs to be attended to is to get the blood test. As a matter of fact, triglyceride count test is the test everybody gotta have at least once a year.
But there's even more to it. You should absolutely know your triglyceride level, if you have symptoms of the metabolic syndrome X, in other words, if you
- are overweight
- eat too many refined or simple carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, cakes, etc.),
- have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure, or
- have a genetic predisposition to cardiovascular health problems.

BIOSAFE LIPID PANEL
>> Home Collected Triglycerides Lab Test <<
FDA-Approved, Certified, Clinical Laboratory Test
from a Simple Nick of the Finger
Convenient | Accurate | Insurance Reimbursement Code
|
The process of specimen (blood) collection is
- quick
- easy and virtually
- painless.
Using the special lancet (included in a 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.
However, 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."
|
|
|
|
Each  Blood Collection Kit is self-collected and includes:
- literature and instructions
- two (2) lancets to nick your finger (and get an adequate blood sample)
- a blood sample return pouch (with return postage to the Lab)
- your test analysis by the CLIA Certified Laboratory, and
- a review of your results by a licensed Health Care Professional.
All you need to do is:
- fill out the Panel Authorization Form
- collect your blood sample
- put it in an enclosed envelope, and
- drop the package into the nearest mailbox.

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.

Dried Blood Lipid Assay Vs. Whole Blood Values
| |
|
|
Triglycerides and cholesterol are highly stable in dried blood (serum) and are readily transferable to a liquid phase
|
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 lipids such as triglycerides and cholesterol.
The good agreement between lipid 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).
Therefore, the adaptation of lipid assays to dried blood has been found useful for many applications such as regular monitoring of triglycerides and cholesterol to prevent cardiovascular health problems.
PLEASE NOTE: 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.
In other words, your results of the dry blood test may be different from the last one you took in your doctor's office.
Therefore, in order to decrease these possible test variances, it is always advisable to use the same laboratory for repeat medical testing.
It should be also noted that significant variations in blood test results may be produced by basic body changes, when compared to the time elapsed between tests.

The Test Everybody Needs to Have
| |
|
|
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 that you can modify - don’t delay finding out if you are at risk of cardiovascular disease.
Your life is too important!

Home Collected Triglycerides Lab 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 reduction program is working
effectively.
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.
PLEASE NOTE:
At Full of Health, we recommend Home Collected Triglycerides Lab Test because we find it the most beneficial to your lipid health in its category.
