This tool estimates LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol.
| LDL (Bad) Cholesterol | mg/dL |
| Non-HDL Cholesterol | mg/dL |
| L/H ratio |
- Calculation Formula
- LDL (bad) cholesterol is calculated using the Friedewald formula.
- LDL (bad) cholesterol = Total cholesterol − HDL (good) cholesterol − Triglycerides / 5
- Non-HDL cholesterol = Total cholesterol − HDL (good) cholesterol
- L/H Ratio = LDL (bad) cholesterol / HDL (good) cholesterol
- This calculation cannot be performed if the triglyceride level is 400 mg/dL or higher.
