Formula :

LDL Cholesterol = Total Cholesterol - HDL Cholesterol - (Triglycerides / 5)

Example:

A person has High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL) of 27 mg/dL, Triglycerides of 8 mg/dL and total Cholesterol of 30 mg/dL. Calculate LDL Cholesterol?

Solution:

Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol = 30 - 27 - (8 / 5)
= 1.4 mg/dL
