[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 677830, member: 12578"] As far as I know, if you have a full lipid panel rather than just a total cholesterol (in which case they wouldn't give the various fractions) they directly measure trigs and HDL C and then calculate LDL C normally using the Friedwald formula LDL cholesterol = Total cholesterol – HDL cholesterol – Total triglyceride/ 2.19 in mmol/l Very high TGs can interfere with the measurement of the other fractions. if your trigs are high then the equation used is likely, if anything, to underestimate the LDL C ( though this is more likely at lower levels of LDL).
