We evaluated a new homogeneous assay for the measurement of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) in six European laboratories. The assay includes two reagents and is applicable to most autoanalyzers, which allows full automation. The total CVs of the new method ranged between 1.3% and 6.7%. Thereby determined HDL-C values were in good agreement with those obtained by precipitation with phosphotungstic acid/MgCl2 or by a combination of ultracentrifugation and precipitation (0.956 < r < 0.994). The assay was linear up to at least 1500 mg/L HDL-C. Hemoglobin did not interfere, whereas icteric samples with bilirubin > 100 mg/L showed discrepancies between the homogeneous and the precipitation assay. Lipemia up to total triglyceride concentrations of 8000 mg/L did not interfere with the homogeneous HDL-C assay. The homogeneous HDL-C assay was easy to handle and produced similar results in all laboratories participating in this study. This method will significantly facilitate the screening of individuals at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
