Hattori et al reported a formula for predicting the serum LDL-apobetalipoprotein concentration. This can be useful in making the diagnosis of hyperapobetalipoproteinemia. The authors are from the National Cardiovascular Centre in Osaka, Japan.
Parameters:
(1) serum total cholesterol concentration in mg/dL
(2) serum HDL-cholesterol in concentration mg/dL
(3) serum triglyceride concentration in mg/dL
(4) serum apobetalipoprotein (apo B) concentration in mg/dL
