Combined cholesterol and bilirubin tests as risk predictors for coronary artery disease

A new method for predicting the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) is disclosed. The method uses a ratio made up of the levels of an individuals LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and serum total bilirubin (bilirubin). The ratio, using a weighted value for bilirubin, is LDL-C/(HDL-C...

Zusammenfassung:A new method for predicting the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) is disclosed. The method uses a ratio made up of the levels of an individuals LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and serum total bilirubin (bilirubin). The ratio, using a weighted value for bilirubin, is LDL-C/(HDL-C+bilirubin).
