NMR LipoProfile® (Without Graph)

$75.00

This test uses advanced technology to more accurately measure lipoproteins for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.

What is this test? 

The NMR LipoProfile® Test uses nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to provide more accurate measurements of lipoproteins and cholesterol. These measurements can provide a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk factors and identify signs of cardiovascular disease.  

Factors measured by the NMR LipoProfile® Test include: 

  • Historical reporting of LDL-P (Low-Density Lipoproteins particle number) and LDL-C (cholesterol levels). 
  • Insulin-resistance score, which can assess your risk for insulin resistance (a precursor to Diabetes). 
  • Lipoprotein particle number (LDL-P). This is the measurement of lipoprotein particles in the blood and can often provide a more accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk.  
  • Particle concentration and size (total HDL-P, small LDL-P, LDL size). 
  • Standard lipid panel that includes total cholesterol, calculated LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. 

Who is this test for? 

The NMR LipoProfile® Test is a useful tool in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease for those with relevant symptoms, health markers that are known precursors to cardiovascular disease, and/or family history of cardiovascular disease. “Without graph” refers to how the results are presented in numerical value. We typically recommend a similar test, The NMR LipoProfile® Test with Insulin Resistance Markers, because it provides greater context around insulin resistance. 

More Information
Why To Buy

The NMR LipoProfile® test analyzes your cholesterol and triglyceride levels in detail, which can help identify potential underlying issues contributing to your fatigue, energy levels, and cognitive symptoms. This detailed breakdown provides a clearer picture than standard lipid panels, aiding in finding the root cause of your symptoms like weight gain and mood changes. Buying this test from Defy Medical gives you access to these important insights for better health management.

Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Fatigue: This test measures specific lipid particles linked to energy metabolism and inflammation, which can contribute to feelings of fatigue.
  • Low energy: Detailed lipid analysis can reveal imbalances affecting cellular energy production, potentially explaining low energy levels.
  • Memory issues: Certain lipid patterns measured by this test are associated with cognitive function and brain health, which can impact memory.
  • Mood changes: Lipid metabolism influences brain chemistry and inflammation, and this test can identify imbalances potentially linked to mood changes.
  • Poor concentration: Abnormal lipid levels can affect brain function and blood flow, contributing to difficulties with concentration.
  • Weight gain: This test assesses triglyceride levels and particle sizes, which are strongly associated with metabolic health and weight management.
