title: [Value of LDL-cholesterol determination in hyperlipoproteinemias].
abstract: Serum LDL-cholesterol concentrations were measured after precipitation in various forms of dyslipidaemia. LDL-cholesterol values were increased in hypercholesterolaemia and decreased in hypertriglyceridaemia. The LDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio decreased with the presence of triglycerides. These data have prompted the authors to propose a classification of dyslipidaemia into hyper-and hypoLDLaemia. Such a classification would be helpful in the prevention, diagnosis and therapeutic surveillance of these diseases.
