    This document provides guidelines for lipid screening in adults and children. It lists optimal, above optimal, borderline high, high, and very high ranges for total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol. It notes that three serial samples one week apart are recommended to account for variations, and that direct LDL measurement is preferred when triglycerides are over 400 mg/dL.

    LIPID SCREEN, SERUM ( Spectrophotometry)

    Cholesterol, Total mg/dL <200


    Triglycerides mg/dL <150
    HDL Cholesterol mg/dL <100
    LDL Cholesterol, Calculated mg/dL <30
    VLDL Cholesterol, Calculated mg/dL

    HDL Cholesterol Gender

    Note: 1. Measurements in the same patient can show physiological & analytical variations. Three
    serial samples 1 week apart are recommended for Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL& LDL
    Cholesterol.

    2. NLA-2014 recommends a complete lipoprotein profile as the initial test for evaluating
    cholesterol.

    3. Friedewald equation to calculate LDL cholesterol is most accurate when Triglyceride level
    is < 400 mg/dL. Measurement of Direct LDL cholesterol is recommended when Triglyceride level is >
    400 mg/dL
