[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 757738, member: 12578"] Hi, I agree that your figures need checking . They usually calculate LDL because it's quite difficult and expensive to measure The normal formula use is [B] LDL cholesterol = Total cholesterol – HDL cholesterol – Total triglyceride ÷ 2.19 (in mmol/l)[/B] Heres a heart UK leaflet that explains [URL]http://heartuk.org.uk/images/uploads/healthylivingpdfs/HUKcfs_E_Freidewald_Method.pdf[/URL] If I put your reported TC ,HDL and trigs into that they come nowhere near the LDL (not sure that your earlier figures actually compute either, though the high trig figure means that the normal formula shouldn't be used ) [/QUOTE]
