Frequently asked questions
Why is non-HDL useful?
It captures every cholesterol particle that can build up in arteries, not just LDL, so it can be a better treatment target — especially with high triglycerides.
How do I calculate it?
Non-HDL cholesterol is simply your total cholesterol minus your HDL ('good') cholesterol.
