The ATP III identied HDL levels below 40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) as associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in men and women. A high
HDL level greater than or equal to 60 mg/dL (1.55 mmol/L) is protective and decreases CHD risk.
HDL
HDL is valid only if Triglyceride level is below 650 mg/dL (7.34 mmol/L).
non-HDL
ATP III identies non-HDL (total cholesterol minus HDL) as a secondary target of therapy in persons with high triglycerides (≥200 mg/dL).
The goal for non-HDL in persons with high serum triglycerides can be set at 30 mg/dL higher than that for LDL on the premise that a VLDL level ≤30 mg/dL is
normal. non-HDL can be calculated using the equation below.
*non-HDL(calculated) = Total Cholesterol - HDL
LDL
LDL can be calculated using the equation below. Calculated LDL is an estimation of LDL and valid only if Triglyceride level is 400 mg/dL (4.52 mmol/L) or below.
*LDL (calculated) = Total Cholesterol - HDL - (Triglycerides/5) (mg/dL)
*LDL (calculated) = Total Cholesterol - HDL - (Triglycerides/2.17) (mmol/L)
• If Triglyceride level is above 400mg/dL (4.52mmol/L), the analyzer displays "N/A" for LDL and LDL/HDL.
• If Triglyceride level is "Hi", the analyzer displays "N/A" for HDL, LDL, LDL/HDL and non-HDL.
• If HDL level is "Lo", the analyzer displays "N/A" for HDL, LDL, LDL/HDL and non-HDL.
