Axsym automatic biochemical analyzer

Height, body weight, gender, age, as well as systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded using a standardized self-filled spreadsheet. Blood pressure was measured with automatic sphygmomanometer, in which the subjects were sitting within a quiet environment. BMI was calculated as the weight (kg), divided by the square of their height (m²). Venous blood was collected after overnight fasting, and analyzed with the Abbott AxSYM automatic biochemical analyzer by trained medical personnel, measuring the following laboratory parameters: TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, UA, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin (ALB), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total bilirubin (TB), globulin (GLB; consists of a variety of glycoproteins, along with serum proteins, including immunoglobulin and complement), total protein (TP; consists of GLB + ALB).

HDL-C and ALT levels were assessed in fasting blood samples using the Abbott AxSYM automatic biochemical analyzer. The Abbott Abbott AxSYM automatic biochemical analyzer used an enzymatic assay to measure ALT levels and a direct selective immunoinhibition assay to measure HDL-C. Then, by dividing ALT by HDL-C, we created a new variable that served as the foundation for our study.
