Estimation of Plasma Small Dense LDL Cholesterol From Classic Lipid Measures

Abstract: Calculated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (cLDL-C) may differ from direct measurement (dLDL-C), and this difference may depend on presence of small, dense LDL (sdLDL) particles in addition to variation in triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations. The presence of such dependence would offer a simple means to estimate sdLDL. We studied dependence of sdLDL on cLDL-C, dLDL-C, and other variables. We measured the levels of glucose, creatinine, total cholesterol, TG, HD… Show more

“…The predictive value of non-HDL-C for cardiovascular risk and mortality is better than that of LDL-C [25]. The strong association between non-HDL-C and sdLDL-C adds additional support for using the non-HDL-C level as a predictor of CVD mortality [24].…”

“…The result of our study shows a significantly increased Non-HDL-C in Diabetes Mellitus patients (4.3 ± 0.2) when compared with non-diabetes (1.2 ± 0.2).The cut-off value for non HDL-c is 130 mg/dl (3.3 mmol/l) which shows that Diabetes Mellitus patients has a higher risk of cardiovascular disease [8]. Non-HDL-C has been observed to have the strongest relationship with small dense LDL-C (sdLDL-C) levels when compared with other lipid measurement [24]. The predictive value of non-HDL-C for cardiovascular risk and mortality is better than that of LDL-C [25].…”

“…The basis for this equation is that in a fasting sample most cholesterol is either in LDL, HDL or VLDL; therefore, one can calculate LDL-C by subtracting HDL-C and VLDL-C from TC. When concentration units are in mg/dl, the term TG /5 provides an estimate of VLDL-C [8, 9]. Although it is only an approximation, the Friedewald equation is still commonly used for estimating LDL-C, because of the extra cost involved in performing dlDL-C assays and because of the lack of specificity of some dlDL-C assays, particularly in patients with dyslipidemias [10, 11].…”
