Chart 4.4. – Routine complementary examinations.

Urinalysis (LR: I, LE: C)
Plasma potassium (LR: I, LE: C)
Plasma creatinine (LR: I, LE: B)
Fasting plasma glucose (LR: I, LE: C) and HbA1c (LR: I, LE: C)
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (LR: I, LE: B)
Total cholesterol, HDL-C and serum triglycerides (LR: I, LE: C) *
Plasma uric acid (LR: I, LE: C)
Conventional electrocardiogram (LR: I, LE: B) **

* LDL-C is calculated using the following formula: LDL-C = total cholesterol - (HDL-C + triglycerides/5) (when triglycerides < 400 mg/dL). ²⁵⁹ * LDL-C may also be measured in routine laboratory work. ** Sokolow-Lyon criteria for LVH: SV₁+ RV_5.6> 35 mm – Cornell voltage: RaVL + SV₃> 20 mm (women), > 28 mm (men). ^{260 , 261}
