METHODS FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A PATIENT SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED A DRUG THAT INHIBITS CHOLESTEROL ABSORPTION

摘要

The invention generally relates to methods for determining whether a patient should be administered a drug that inhibits cholesterol absorption. In certain aspects, methods of the invention involve obtaining a sample from a patient, conducting an assay on the sample to obtain a level of a cholesterol absorption marker, and comparing the level to a reference level, in which a level above the reference level indicates that the patient should be administered a drug that inhibits cholesterol absorption.
