Non-HDL Cholesterol Target Calculator

Calculates non-HDL cholesterol (Total Cholesterol − HDL) and compares to risk-based targets. Non-HDL goal is 30 mg/dL above the corresponding LDL-C target: <130 mg/dL (general), <100 mg/dL (high-risk), <85 mg/dL (very high-risk ASCVD). Non-HDL captures atherogenic lipoproteins including VLDL and IDL.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1

    Enter patient clinical data

    Enter the patient's age, weight, lab values, vitals, or clinical findings into the Non-HDL Cholesterol Target Calculator input fields.

  2. 2

    Select the clinical scoring system

    Select or confirm the appropriate clinical scoring system or reference range for the patient population.

  3. 3

    Calculate the clinical score

    Press Calculate to compute the clinical score, risk estimate, or diagnostic result.

  4. 4

    Interpret the result

    Review the output against the provided reference ranges, risk categories, or guideline thresholds. Consult a qualified clinician before acting on results.

Formula

Result = f(patient inputs, clinical reference)

patient inputs
Age, weight, height, lab values, vitals, or clinical findings entered into the Non-HDL Target.
clinical reference
Reference range, scoring system, or population standard the result is compared against.
Result
Computed clinical score, risk estimate, or diagnostic value.

Clinical results are decision-support only and must be interpreted by a qualified clinician.

Glossary and Definitions

Clinical score
A numeric value derived from patient inputs that estimates risk, severity, or diagnostic likelihood for a given condition.
Reference range
The set of values considered normal for a healthy population, used to interpret a calculated result.
Sensitivity
The probability that a positive result correctly identifies a patient with the condition.
Specificity
The probability that a negative result correctly identifies a patient without the condition.
Non-HDL cholesterol
A key concept referenced by the Non-HDL Target: Calculates non-HDL cholesterol (Total Cholesterol − HDL) and compares to risk-based targets. Non-HDL goal is 30 mg/dL above the corresponding LDL-C target: <130 mg/dL (general), <100 mg/dL (high-risk), <85 mg/dL (very high-risk ASCVD). Non-HDL captures atherogenic lipoproteins including VLDL and IDL.
