Falsely high high-density lipoprotein triglyceride values by the heparin-manganese precipitation method.

Abstract:

:Recent evidence indicates that high-density lipoprotein triglyceride (HDL-Tg) may be a predictor of coronary artery disease. We examined three methods for HDL-Tg measurement, comparing results obtained by measurement of Tg in the supernate after heparin-manganese chloride (heparin-Mn) precipitation of EDTA-treated plasma (I) with results obtained after preparative ultracentrifugation (II and III). In II, we used heparin-Mn precipitation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from the infranate after ultracentrifugation at d 1.006 to remove very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). In III, we performed sequential flotation ultracentrifugation at d 1.006 and 1.063, then measured Tg in the d greater than 1.063 fraction. Method I gave significantly higher HDL-Tg results than II and III, which gave essentially identical results. The difference in results between I and II was not caused by the presence of heparin or manganese chloride, because these were used in both methods. Prior removal of VLDL in II and III resulted in lower HDL-Tg values, and subsequent removal of LDL by precipitation or ultracentrifugation did not alter final HDL-Tg values. The higher values obtained in I were the result of the presence of VLDL-rich unsedimented precipitate in the supernate.
