"In the non-diseased individuals, six of eight HDL-C and five of eight LDL-C direct methods met the National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines," research team member Elizabeth T. Leary, Chief Scientific Officer at Pacific Biomarkers, Inc said.

"However, all the methods failed to meet the NCEP's goals for diseased individuals, because of compromised specificity toward abnormal proteins," she added.

The study was published in the journal Clinical Chemistry.
