what is non hdl cholesterol, Non-HDL cholesterol, short for non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, is a crucial component of your overall cholesterol profile. It encompasses all cholesterol not carried by high-density lipoproteins (HDL). This includes low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, and other remnants of lipoproteins. Non-HDL cholesterol is considered a valuable marker for assessing cardiovascular risk. To calculate it, subtract your HDL cholesterol level from your total cholesterol level. Monitoring and managing non-HDL cholesterol is important for assessing your risk of heart disease, as it provides a more accurate picture of the cholesterol associated with atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular issues.
