DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERISTICS

Cholesterol is a steroid of high molecular weight and possesses the cyclopentanophenanthrene skeleton.

Dietary cholesterol is partially absorbed and it is also synthesized Biosystems Reagent by the liver andother tissues.

transported in plasma by lipoproteins. It is excreted unchanged into bile or after transformation to bile acids.

Increased total cholesterol values are associated with a progressively escalating risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease5,6

Clinical diagnosis should not be made on the findings of a single test result, but should integrate both clinical and laboratory data.
