Calculations

Calculated Parameter	Indication	Unit	Equation
LDL Cholesterol	LDL	mg/dL	LDL-C = TCHO value - (HDL-C vlaue + TG value/5)
LDL Cholesterol	LDL	mmol/L	LDL-C = TCHO value - (HDL-C value + TG value/2.2)
non-HDL Cholesterol	non-HDL	mg/dL or mmol/L	non-HDL = TCHO value - HDL-C value
Globulin	GLOB	g/dL or g/L	GLOB = TP value - ALB value
Albumin/Globulin ratio	ALB/GLOB	-	ALB/GLOB = ALB value / (TP value - ALB value)
BUN/Creatinine ratio	BUN/CRE	-	BUN/CRE = BUN value / CRE value
Anion Gap	Anion Gap	mEq/L or mmol/L	Anion Gap = Na value - (Cl value + TCO₂ value)
