Non-HDL Cholesterol on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and how it sits with related markers.
What it is
Non-HDL cholesterol is everything except HDL: all the particles that can build plaque, in one number. Many clinicians prefer it to LDL.
The range
How to read the lab range

Why it moves on a protocol

Questions people ask
Non-HDL or LDL, which tells more?
Non-HDL includes the remnants LDL misses, so many clinicians prefer it as a single number. ApoB, if the lab offers it, counts particles directly.
