Lipids / Cardiometabolic
Also known as: Non-HDL-C
No common urgent flag from this test alone. However, symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or sudden weakness could indicate a serious heart problem and require immediate medical attention.
Non-HDL cholesterol measures all the 'bad' types of cholesterol in your blood that can clog your arteries. It includes LDL, VLDL, and other lipoproteins.
Doctors check Non-HDL cholesterol to understand your risk for heart disease and stroke. It helps them see how much of the harmful cholesterol is in your body.
Reference ranges for Non-HDL cholesterol can vary depending on the laboratory, your age, sex, health history, and other factors. Your doctor will interpret your results in the context of your overall health.
