[Suitability and recovery of capillary blood plasma for lipid determinations].
Plasma lipid analysis, particularly in population screening, can be facilitated by the use of capillary blood. A system for serial collection of capillary plasma is described. The concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides in heparinized capillary plasma and venous blood, respectively, are compared. No significant differences were found. Using the KAPA-method hemolytic samples are a source of error. They occurred with a frequency of about 3% in mass screening.
