Hi all,
Does anyone know anything about this blood test? The nurse practitioner ordered this for me and the numbers looked bad.
I talked with my sister (RN, BSN) last night and she had never heard of it.
NMR LipoProfile Test: LDL Cholesterol Masks LDL Particle Number (http://www.lipoprofile.com/control.cfm?ID=59)
I was ill when the blood was drawn - does that have an impact on the results?
What do the results really mean?
The NP wants to put my on Niaspan.
I'm really frustrated :mad: because I kicked you know what with my A1C but now my lipids are trashed.
I had a free screening at work in August and my cholesterol was fine.
Thanks,
Mark
