Key result
Micromethods using only 0.6 ml of serum successfully enabled the comprehensive analysis of serum lipids and lipoproteins in infants and children, including premature newborns.
Demonstrates the feasibility of using micromethods to analyze comprehensive lipid profiles from very small serum volumes (0.6 ml) in infants and children.
Facilitates lipid profiling in blood-volume-limited neonates and infants; leaves open clinical adoption pending prospective validation.
In an investigation of the serum lipoproteins in infancy and childhood, in which attention was also directed to the total lipids, total and free cholesterol and phospholipids, and in which use was made of micromethods permitting the performance of all these analyses on 0·6 ml serum and thus even on newborn premature infants, the following observations of interest were made.
