This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0541U only for HDL Reverse Cholesterol Transport Panel with pCAD Score from Quest Diagnostics®. This test evaluates cardiovascular disease risk by measuring the cholesterol efflux capacity, which is how well high–density lipoprotein (HDL) removes cholesterol from cells. It uses liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) to measure five specific proteins bound to HDL in the blood. The results are reported as a prediction score for coronary artery disease (pCAD).
