Understanding Non-HDL Cholesterol

Non-HDL cholesterol is calculated by subtracting your HDL cholesterol from your total cholesterol. It represents all the cholesterol in your blood that isn't HDL (good cholesterol).

High levels of non-HDL cholesterol are associated with an increased risk of heart disease because they can contribute to the buildup of plaque in your arteries.

When to Calculate Non-HDL Cholesterol

  • If you have risk factors for heart disease
  • If your HDL cholesterol is low
  • If you have diabetes or metabolic syndrome
  • As part of regular cardiovascular health monitoring
