It lowers triglycerides and raises HDL
The chemical formula of aluminum clofibrate is C20H22AlCl2O7.
Clofibrate
Atromid-S
Medication used to lower levels of blood cholesterol and triglycerides
I would advise taking anything which is a statin compound. Fibrates like clofibrate would be compatible with a procedurer like you suggest. Without knowing anything more it is impossible to make sound suggestions. If you really have a llow BChE

You should not eat or drink at all for 4 hours before the test unless told otherwise. Your doctor may also be necesary to stop taking any drugs that may affect the test results. NEVER stop taking any medicine unless you have the approval of your your doctor. Drugs that can increase the level of uric acid in your body include: Alcohol Ascorbic acid Aspirin Caffeine Cisplatin Diazoxide Diuretics Epinephrine Ethambutol Levodopa Methyldopa Nicotinic acid Phenothiazines Theophylline Drugs that can decrease the level of uric acid in your body include: Allopurinol Azathioprine Clofibrate Corticosteroids Estrogen Glucose Guaifenesin Mannitol Probenecid Warfarin
There are various lipid lowering drugs that can either reduce your LDL levels, increase your HDL level or both. The main groups are the statins (e.g. simvastatin, lovastatin, mevastatin), fibrates (e.g. clofibrate, gemfribozil, fenofibrate), resins (e.g. cholestyramine, cholestipol), niacin and probucol. Statins are very common HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, so they force your body to use circulating LDL in the blood reducing LDL levels. Fibrates lower your triglyercide levels, and have a duel action of both increasing lipoprotein lipase activity and decreasing the synthesis of VLDL. If taking these you should reduce your fat in the diet esp. in cases of high chylomicron levels Resins are tiny beads in an orange drink which bind bile acids in the gut and remove the bile acid from the body. This in turn means that there is no negative feedback to 7-alpha-hydroxylase, and so bile acids continue to be produced which thereby reduce your LDL levels. Probucol is an antioxidant that doesn't lower your cholesterol levels specifically but does lower plaque formation, so it is often used in conjunction with statins. Nonmedical alternatives are available such as eating omega-3 containing food such as eggs, and fish, and opting for reducing your saturated fat, and trans-fat intake by reading labels and picking your food more wisely. You should try to reduce fat intake in general, but also opt to eat food with PUFA fats (Polyunsaturated fatted acids). Many other cholesterol controlling methods are also available but that is not exactly what you were asking so I will avoid getting into it. Best wishes, and consult your family doctor in regards to this for help.
DefinitionGamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is a test to measure the amount of the enzyme GGT in the blood.Alternative NamesGamma-GT; GGTP; GGTHow the test is performedBlood is typically drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.How to prepare for the testThe health care provider may advise you to stop taking any drugs that can affect the test.Drugs that can increase GGT levels include alcohol, phenytoin, and phenobarbital.Drugs that can decrease GGT levels include clofibrate and birth control pills.How the test will feelWhen the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.Why the test is performedThis test is used to detect diseases of the liver or bile ducts. It is also done along with other tests, such as the ALP test, to tell the difference between liver or bile duct disorders and bone disease.Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is increased in liver and bile duct disease as well as in bone disease. GGT is only increased in liver and bile duct disease, but not in bone disease. So, a patient with an elevated ALP and a normal GGT probably has bone disease, not liver or bile ducts disease.Normal ValuesThe normal range is 0 to 51 international units per liter (IU/L).Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.What abnormal results meanGreater-than-normal levels of GGT may indicate:Congestive heart failureCholestasis(congestion of the bile ducts)CirrhosisHepatitisLiver ischemia (blood flow deficiency)Liver necrosisLiver tumorUse of hepatotoxic drugs (drugs toxic to liver)What the risks areThere is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:Excessive bleedingFainting or feeling light-headedHematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)ReferencesBerk PD, Korenblat KM.

DefinitionThe lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test measures the amount of LDH in the blood.See also: LDH isoenzymesAlternative NamesLDH test; Lactic acid dehydrogenase testHow the test is performedThe health care provider will take blood from a vein or from your heel, finger, toe, or earlobe.The blood sample is sent to a laboratory, where it is placed in a machine called a centrifuge. The machine quickly spins the blood, which causes the liquid part (the serum) to separate from the cells. The LDH measurement is done on the serum.How to prepare for the testYour health care provider may ask you to stop taking drugs that may affect the test. Drugs that can increase LDH measurements include anesthetics, aspirin, clofibrate, fluorides, mithramycin, narcotics, and procainamide.Why the test is performedLDH is most often measured to check for tissue damage. The enzyme LDH is in many body tissues, especially the heart, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, brain, blood cells, and lungs.Other conditions under which the test may be done:Anemia of vitamin B-12 deficiencyMegaloblastic anemiaPernicious anemiaNormal ValuesA typical range is 105 - 333 IU/L (international units per liter).Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.What abnormal results meanHigher-than-normal levels may indicate:Blood flow deficiency (ischemia)Cerebrovascular accident (such as a stroke)Heart attackHemolytic anemiaInfectious mononucleosisLiver disease(for example, hepatitis)Low blood pressureMuscle injuryMuscular dystrophyNew abnormal tissue formation (usually cancer)PancreatitisTissue deathIf the LDH level is raised, your doctor may order an LDH isoenzymes test.ReferencesAbraham N, Carty R, DuFour D, Pincus M.
