2. Test tubes
The tube on your left is clear,
however the LDL fraction is
markedly increased. LDL contains
CH, which does not produce
turbidity. The patient has a type II
hyperlipoproteinemia. The tube on
the right has a supranate (arrow)
and clear infranate indicating the
presence of chylomicrons. The most
common cause of this is someone
who did not fast and had a
breakfast full of saturated fats. If
this was a hyperlipoproteinemia, it
would be a type I
hyperlipoproteinemia. (CV002)
