Abstract

ARROBAS-VELILLA, Teresa et al. Consensus document to determine and report the lipid profile in spanish clinical laboratories. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.1, pp.33-45.  Epub Apr 17, 2023. ISSN 2386-8201.  https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/rcmf.160106.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be the main cause of death in Spain. Adequate control of lipid metabolism disorders is a key challenge in cardiovascular prevention that is far from achieved in real clinical practice. There is a major heterogeneity in the reports of lipid metabolism from Spanish clinical laboratories, which may contribute to its poor monitoring. For this reason, a working group of the main scientific societies involved in the care of patients at vascular risk, has drawn up this document with a consensus proposal on the determination of the basic lipid profile in cardiovascular prevention, recommendations for its implementation and combining the criteria to incorporate the lipid monitoring goals suitable for the vascular risk of the patients in the laboratory reports.
