Lipoprotein - analysis in blood by means of a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.

摘要

A method and apparatus for analyzing blood plasma to determine the concentration of its lipoprotein constituents, VLDL, LDL, HDL and proteins includes obtaining the NMR chemical shift spectrum of a sample. Stored reference NMR spectra of the lipoprotein constituents are added together to form a lineshape that best fits the measured blood plasma NMR spectrum, and from this, the concentration of each lipoprotein constituent in the blood plasma is determined.
