Figure 4. DBS-to-serum equivalent analyte levels compared to gold standard venipuncture serum measurements.

Figure 4

A. Total cholesterol (TC), B. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and C. C-reactive protein (CRP). Raw DBS values were transformed into serum-equivalent DBS values using empirically-derived calibrations between these measures (see results) to provide clinically-relevant serum equivalencies for each analyte.
