Abstract
This study casts doubt on the specificity of “direct” HDL-C assays in the presence of hypertriglyceridemia. The use of assay-specific correction formulae to adjust for interference from TRL reduces the overestimation of HDL-C that influences CVD risk calculation, treatment, and follow-up of patients.
