Friedewald LDL Cholesterol, VLDL, Non-HDL & Atherogenic Ratio Calculator
Calculate calculated Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL-C in mg/dL), VLDL, Non-HDL cholesterol, and the Total Cholesterol to HDL cardiovascular risk ratio using the clinical Friedewald formula.
Calculated LDL Cholesterol (mg/dL)
Calculator Inputs
Calculated LDL Cholesterol (mg/dL)
Non-HDL Cholesterol (mg/dL)
Atherogenic Heart Risk Ratio (Total/HDL)
Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL in mg/dL)
Lipid Profile Components (LDL, HDL, VLDL) Breakdown
The Friedewald equation is valid when serum triglycerides are below 400 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L). For higher triglycerides, direct LDL laboratory measurement is required.

Calculation Methodology
Friedewald Equation: LDL-C (mg/dL) = Total Cholesterol - HDL-C - (Triglycerides / 5). Non-HDL Cholesterol = Total Cholesterol - HDL-C. Chol/HDL Ratio = Total Cholesterol / HDL-C.
