Description

Martin et al proposed a new equation for estimating LDL cholesterol. The authors are from the Johns Hopkins University, CGH Medical Center and the University of Illinois.


Parameters:

(1) serum total cholesterol in mg/dL

(2) serum HDL cholesterol in mg/dL

(3) serum triglycerides in mg/dL

 

LDL cholesterol in mg/dL =

= (total cholesterol) - (HDL cholesterol) - ((triglyceride) / (factor))
