[The problems of lipid metabolism. Demands for diagnostically improved insight into the function of lipoproteins (author's transl)].
In the course of a follow-up of 87 subjects with known hyperlipoproteinemia a new, simplified method was tested for quantification of the individual lipoprotein fractions capable of being performed by every larger laboratory, in contrast to the expensive ultracentrifugation. The LDL/HDL ratio proved to be the conclusive parameter for daily diagnosis in hospital and general practise. This enabled the most important aspects of the lipid metabolic situation of a patient to be recognized immediately.
