Health | The biologic variation for HDL-C measurements, expressed as coefficient of variation (CV), is approximately 7 to 8 percent, and the analytical variation is approximately 6 percent (CV). For triglyceride, the biologic variation approximates 20 percent (CV) and analytical variation, 5 percent (CV). In addition, the variability is dependent upon prior alcohol intake, posture, concomitant medications and hormones, prior exercise status, diet, menstrual cycle, time of day (a.m.), and sample collection (e.g., concentration of anticoagulant in the blood filled tube and storage).
