Effects of total cholesterol and triglyceride on the percentage difference between the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration measured directly and calculated using the Friedewald formula

Background: We elucidate how the triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) concentrations affect the percentage difference (%?LDL) between the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration evaluated by direct measurement (DLDL-C) and calculated using the Friedewald formula (FLDL-C), under conditions allowing the calculation.

Methods: Serum concentrations of TC, TG, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and DLDL-C were measured and the FLDL-C and %?LDL were calculated for 38,243 Koreans who had TG values <4.52 mmol/L...
