In my blood test result, under cholesterol, besides Triglycerides snd HDL, it has LDL, which I know is bad cholesterol, it has in parentheses (calc) and the number 135.4 mg/dl. I read that the number should be below 100, but my result was not flagged. Everything else in the cholesterol was normal. 2 following.
Non-HDL-C encompasses all cholesterol present in potentially atherogenic lipoprotein particles (VLDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein [IDL], LDL, and lipoprotein[a]). At present, the concentration of LDL-C is estimated using the Friedewald equation: LDL-C=TC-HDL-C-TG/5 mg/dL.
