LDL cholesterol level
LDL cholesterol level in blood samples
LDL cholesterol level is calculated by Quest Diagnostics based on measures determined from a lipid panel. See the routine laboratory tests subcategory description for blood sample collection and analysis procedures.
LDL cholesterol level = total cholesterol - HDL level - 0.2*triglycerides
The value is expressed in mg/dL.
Reference range: <130 mg/dL
