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.
These analytes are measured simultaneously from a single drop of blood using the Cholestech LDX Analyzer. A TC/HDL (total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol) ratio and estimated values for LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and non-HDL cholesterol are calculated by the Cholestech LDX upon completion of testing.
