Service Description
Lipoprotein Fractionation Test (LDL Particle Size & Number) Specimen Type: Blood | Fasting: Preferred, not required | Results: 7–9 business days What It Is A standard cholesterol panel tells you how much LDL you have. Lipoprotein Fractionation shows what kind: it separates your cholesterol particles by size and counts them for a sharper read on heart disease risk. This test includes: • LDL Particle Number • LDL Small • LDL Medium • HDL Large • LDL Pattern • LDL Peak Size Not all LDL is equal. Large, buoyant particles are less likely to cause trouble, while small, dense ones work their way into artery walls and help build the plaque behind heart attacks and strokes. That is why someone with a "normal" LDL number can still be at risk if most of their particles are the small kind. The LDL Pattern on your report gives the big picture: Pattern A leans toward larger particles, and Pattern B leans toward smaller, denser ones. Who It's For Providers often order this test with a routine cholesterol panel, or as a next step when the panel doesn't explain someone's risk. It is a good fit for: • People with a parent or sibling who had a heart attack or stroke • Anyone with diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome • Anyone on cholesterol-lowering medication • Anyone who has had a heart event even though their cholesterol looked fine What to Expect Preparation: Fasting is preferred but not required. For the best results, have only water for 8 hours beforehand. Your Visit: A fast, 15-minute blood draw at Quick Test Health Services of Tucson, right off the I-10 close to downtown. No doctor's order, referral, or insurance needed — we handle the lab order on-site. Results: This is a specialty test.
