VLDL (Very Low Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol Calculation

Very Low Density Lipoprotein is formed in the liver, and is 80% triglyceride and is packaged with apoproteins and cholesterols to be exported into the blood stream. VLDL is later degraded into LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein). Note that this formula is valid only when triglycerides are <=400 mg/dL (<=4.5 mmol/L).
