Calculated Results
Non-HDL Cholesterol
150 mg/dL
Non-HDL-C = TC – HDL
Friedewald Method
LDL-C:
100.0 mg/dL
VLDL-C:
30.0 mg/dL
LDL = TC – HDL – (TG / 5)
Martin/Hopkins Method
LDL-C:
98.5 mg/dL
VLDL-C:
31.5 mg/dL
LDL = TC – HDL – (TG / factor)
Sampson Method
LDL-C:
102.3 mg/dL
VLDL-C:
28.7 mg/dL
LDL = TC/0.948 – HDL/ 0.971 – (TG/8.56 + (TG* nonHDL)/2140 – (TG*2)/16100) – 9.44
