Formula & Clinical Notes

Formula

Non-HDL = Total Cholesterol − HDL

Clinical Notes

Non-HDL cholesterol includes all atherogenic particles (LDL, VLDL, IDL and remnants) and can be calculated without fasting. Desirable is below 130 mg/dL; in high-risk patients the goal is below 100 mg/dL. Non-HDL is often a better risk marker than LDL alone.
