    Summary

    Accurate diagnosis of hypercholesterolemia in adults relies on laboratory analysis, including serum cholesterol and triglycerides. Monitoring treatment effectiveness requires careful consideration of biological and analytical variations, necessitating quality control.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Laboratory Medicine
    • Public Health Guidelines

    Context:

    • Summarizes the Norwegian program for adult hypercholesterolemia diagnosis and treatment.
    • Highlights the role of laboratory analysis in clinical decision-making.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the appropriate use of laboratory tests for diagnosing and managing hypercholesterolemia.
    • To provide guidance on when to measure serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol.

    Summary:

    • Serum cholesterol is key for diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
    • Triglycerides are measured when dietetic treatment is considered.
    • HDL cholesterol is measured if dietetic treatment is insufficient, guiding drug therapy decisions.

    Impact:
