RESUMEN
Objetivo. Analizar el valor predictivo de diversas aproximaciones cuantificación de la concentración de apolipoproteína B (apoB), estimación del cLDLf y estimación del no-cHDL, como predictivos de elevaciones de la magnitud de la concentración de cLDL. Material y métodos. Estudio multicéntrico transversal en el que se han analizado las muestras rutinarias de 6.094 pacientes consecutivos. En cada paciente se ha cuantificado el cLDL mediante una técnica de ultracentrifugación de rutina (cLDLu) y la concentración de apoB por uno de los métodos inmunológicos estandarizados y se ha estimado el cLDLf y el no-cHDL. Las magnitudes obtenidas han sido utilizadas para analizar sus valores predictivos del cLDLu en función de tres grupos de concentración de Tg (<200, entre 200 y 400 y más de 400mg/dL) y los grupos de riesgo definidos por el ATPIII (cLDL>70, 100, 130 o 160mg/dL). Resultados y conclusiones. Con todas las magnitudes analizadas se obtiene un buen valor predictivo positivo, variable para las diferentes concentraciones de Tg y que es máximo para la apoB con puntos de corte de alta especificidad (AE). Las estimaciones con cLDLf infraestiman la situación de riesgo del paciente, mientras que las que utilizan el no-cHDL la sobreestiman. Conclusión. En pacientes con Tg<200mg/dL puede utilizarse prácticamente sin riesgo la fórmula de Friedewald; en pacientes con Tg elevados es recomendable la apoB (puntos de corte de AE) como predictor positivo y el no-cHDL como predictor negativo (AU)
ABSTRACT
Objective. To analyse the predictive value of several approaches to cardiovascular risk prevention measuring apolipoprotein B concentrations (apoB), estimation of fractionated LDL cholesterol (cLDLf) and non-HDL cholesterol (HDLc), to predict increases in LDL cholesterol. Material and Methods. Cross-sectional multicentre study in which routine samples from 6094 consecutive patients were analysed. In each patient, LDLc was quantified by routine ultracentrifugation technique (LDLu) and apoB concentrations by a standard immunological method. We also estimated the LDLf and non-HDLc. The values obtained were used to analyse the predictive values of unfractionated LDL cholesterol (cLDLu) into three groups according to their triglyceride concentration (<200, between 200 and 400 and 400mg/dL) and risk groups as defined by the Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III guidelines (LDL-C> 70, 100, 130 or 160mg/dL). Results and conclusions. With all the variables analysed we obtained a good positive predictive value, which varied according to the triglyceride concentrations, with the highest values being obtained for apoB with high specificity cut-off points (AE). Calculations with LDLf values underestimate the patient's risk, while those using non-HDLc overestimate it. Conclusion. The Friedewald formula can be used practically without risk in patients with triglycerides below 200mg/dL. In patients with elevated triglycerides, apoB (AE cut-off points) is recommended as a positive predictor, and non-HDLc as a negative predictor (AU)
