Özet
Introduction: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and generally measured after 8-12 h fasting. However, some recent studies have pointed that non-fasting lipoproteins, especially LDL concentrations, are better indicators for demonstrating CVD risk and atherosclerosis. They asserted that nutrition is a negligible factor on changes in lipoprotein concentrations and claimed this difference as a result of hemodilution effect, caused from fluid intake and can be eliminated by applying some adjustments. We aimed to compare the fasting and non-fasting LDL values of the same individuals and discuss whether non-fasting and fasting LDL results can be used in place of each other, directly or after applying hemodilution correction models.
