Estimate Friedewald LDL, VLDL, TC/HDL, and non-HDL from a standard lipid panel in mg/dl.
| LDL (mg/dl) | – |
| VLDL (mg/dl) | – |
| TC / HDL | – |
| Non-HDL (mg/dl) | – |
Use this calculator when total cholesterol, HDL, and triglycerides are in mg/dl. LDL = TC − HDL − TG/5, and VLDL ≈ TG/5, only if triglycerides are under 400 mg/dl. Above that, Friedewald is not used. This page stays in mg/dl and is not a SCORE or ASCVD engine.
Total: Total cholesterol, mg/dl.
HDL: HDL cholesterol, mg/dl.
Triglycerides: Triglycerides, mg/dl. Friedewald stops at 400 mg/dl.
LDL: Friedewald LDL, mg/dl.
VLDL: Estimated VLDL, mg/dl.
TC / HDL: Total-to-HDL ratio.
Non-HDL: Total minus HDL, mg/dl.
