Réseau CHU: Cardiologie : découverte d’un nouveau marqueur du bon cholestérol… son dosage sauvera des vies

Les chercheurs toulousains viennent de breveter une nouvelle technique de dosage du bon cholestérol dans le sang. Ce marqueur appelé IF1 (Inhibitory Factor One) a été testé avec succès sur 1 317 patients. Les résultats ont été publiés dans la prestigieuse revue américaine le « Journal of Lipid Research ». Les équipes poursuivent leurs travaux afin de généraliser le dosage à l’ensemble des patients. Le dépistage du mauvais cholestérol, ces mauvaises graisses LDL qui s’accumulent sous forme de plaques dans nos artères et finissent par les obstruer, est essentiel pour connaître le risque individuel de maladies cardiovasculaires. Or, rappellent les cardiologues, il est tout aussi indispensable de connaître avec précision le taux de bon cholestérol (HDL). En effet, une carence en bon cholestérol exprime un risque aggravé d’athérosclérose (dépôt de lipides sur la paroi des artères) - même si le mauvais cholestérol, a pu être stabilisé par différentes thérapeutiques, dont les statines. Réalisé en routine, le dosage du bon cholestérol ne bénéficiait pas d’un marqueur assez précis et fiable ; une mesure imparfaite qui ne fournissait pas d’information prédictive de maladies coronariennes.

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

quality is a state of mind, andshould not be an administrative coercition

Alfredo Corell's curator insight, October 27, 2013 7:00 PM

Poor quality in the lab not only forces an organization into a reactive mode of problem solving, but it also creates a higher cost burden than a laboratory with an effective quality infrastructure experiences. Reruns performed due to quality control failures can significantly increase testing costs and cut into a lab’s bottom line. Furthermore, according to a recent study, correction of errors across all phases of laboratory testing can consume 12-35 percent of technician time.
