      The effective utilization of cholesterol risk guidelines by physicians requires reliable and accurate patient serum cholesterol values. Each clinical or office laboratory’s serum cholesterol analyses should be traceable to the National Reference System for Cholesterol (NRS/CHOL), an accuracy-based national system for cholesterol standardization.
