NMR LipoProfile® with Insulin Resistance Markers LabCorp
This test is one of the most effective for measuring accurate LDL and HDL levels to identify potential cardiovascular disease.
LabCorp Test #: 884000, CPT: 80061; 83704
What is this test?
The NMR LipoProfile® with Insulin Resistance Markers Test can help identify cardiovascular disease. This test uses advanced technology called nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to provide very accurate measurements. Levels measured include Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), both the amount and the size; as well High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL).
Because this test provides a more in-depth understanding of lipoproteins in the blood, this test can help identify cardiovascular risk factors more accurately and individualize treatment for better outcomes.
Who is this test for?
This test is useful to better understand your potential for cardiovascular disease. If you have already been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, and/or if cardiovascular disease runs in your family, this test can provide you with an accurate understanding of your overall cardiovascular risk.
