VLDL - Riesgos

Nombres alternativos

Lipoproteína de muy baja densidad

Riesgos:

Los riesgos asociados con este examen pueden ser:

  • Sangrado excesivo
  • Desmayo o sensación de mareo
  • Hematoma (acumulación de sangre debajo de la piel)
  • Infección (un riesgo leve cada vez que se presenta ruptura de la piel)

Consideraciones especiales:

No hay una forma simple y directa para medir la VLDL. La mayoría de los laboratorios la calculan sobre la base del nivel de triglicéridos.
