METHOD OF MEASURING LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN (LDL) CHOLESTEROL AND TEST PIECE FOR MEASURING LDL CHOLESTEROL

摘要

An LDL cholesterol measurement method that can be used with a test piece is provided. The LDL cholesterol measurement method for measuring LDL cholesterol in a sample has (A) a step of providing a total-cholesterol measurement portion and a non-LDL cholesterol measurement portion for measuring non-LDL cholesterol, which is cholesterol other than LDL cholesterol; (B) a step of measuring the total cholesterol in the sample in the total-cholesterol measurement portion; (C) a step of measuring the non-LDL cholesterol in the sample in the non-LDL cholesterol measurement portion; and (D) a step of obtaining the LDL cholesterol level in the sample by subtracting the non-LDL cholesterol value measured in the step (C) from the total-cholesterol value measured in the step (B).
