LDL Cholesterol, Direct (LDL-D), Serum

Test Code: 1072 CPT Code: 83721
Specimen Type: Serum collected in a yellow-top tube

LDL cholesterol is a key factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD), while HDL cholesterol
has often been observed to have a protective effect. Even within the normal range of total cholesterol concentrations, an increase in LDL cholesterol can be associated with increased risk for CAD.

development.

Lead, Blood

Test Code: 1252 CPT Code: 83655
Specimen Type: Whole blood in lavender-top (EDTA) tube
Sample Volume: 3.0 mL (1.0mL - min)

Clinical Significance:

Lead is distributed in the body into two pools, an active pool in the blood and soft tissues
and a storage pool in bones and calcified tissues. In the blood, 95-98% of all the inorganic lead is found in the erythrocytes.
Chronic exposure will cause lead to accumulate in the bone, teeth, liver and brain. Since excretion of lead by the kidneys is very slow, it tends to accumulate in the body. Advanced lead intoxication will result in lead encephalopathy characterized by cerebral edema, coma and convulsions. Children are specially susceptible to neurologic damage from lead and acute neurologic toxicity may develop without previous symptoms. Blood lead concentrations are monitored to assess toxicity and the course of treatment.
