Non-HDL Cholesterol (NonHDL)


divider

Non-HDL cholesterol (Non-HDL) is a measure of all the cholesterol in your blood that isn’t high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. This includes low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, both of which can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke.

Non-HDL cholesterol is considered a more comprehensive risk marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than LDL cholesterol alone because it captures all atherogenic particles. It's calculated by subtracting HDL cholesterol from the total cholesterol level.

A high level of Non-HDL cholesterol suggests an increased risk of CVD, prompting lifestyle changes such as a healthier diet, regular exercise, and possibly medication to lower cholesterol levels. Monitoring Non-HDL cholesterol is crucial, especially for individuals with risk factors like diabetes, obesity, or a family history of heart disease.
