It is necessary to examine lipid abnormalities at a macromolecular level, with emphasis on the transport lipoproteins rather than on cholesterol and triglyceride values alone. Methods for determining serum lipoproteins, which can be adapted for a small laboratory, are now available and are recommended for general clinical use. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the process of atherosclerosis has a long natural history that begins in childhood, and that it is now possible to study children for potential risk.
