Test Overview
Enzymatic Colorimetric
Assess risk for developing coronary heart disease.
Cholesterol: <or= 200 mg/dL; Triglycerides: age 0-9 yrs: <or= 100 mg/dL, age 10-18 yrs: <or= 130 mg/dL, age >18 yrs: <or= 150 mg/dL; HDL Cholesterol: 40 - 60 mg/dL; LDL Cholesterol: <or= 130 mg/dL; Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: 0 - 4.5. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) has set the following guidelines for serum Lipids (ATP III Classification): CHOLESTEROL ADULTS: Desirable <200 mg/dL; Borderline High 200 - 239 mg/dL; High >240 mg/dL. CHOLESTEROL CHILDREN: (ages 0-18 yrs): Desirable <170 mg/dL; Borderline High 170 - 199 mg/dL; High >200 mg/dL. TRIGLYCERIDES ADULTS: Desirable <150 mg/dL; Borderline High 150 - 199 mg/dL; High 200 - 499 mg/dL; Very High >500 mg/dL. HDL: Low <40 mg/dL; Normal 40 - 60 mg/dl; High >60 mg/dL (negative risk factor for CHD). LDL: Optimal <100 mg/dL; Near Optimal: 100 - 129 mg/dL; Borderline High 130 - 159 mg/dL; High 160 - 189 mg/dL; Very High >190 mg/dL. Patient's individual LDL-cholesterol goal may differ based on the presence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. TRIGLYCERIDES CHILDREN AGES 0-9 YRS: Desirable <75 mg/dL; Borderline High 75 - 99 mg/dL; High >100 mg/dL. TRIGLYCERIDES CHILDREN AGES 10-18 YRS: Desirable <90 mg/dL; Borderline High 90 - 129 mg/dL; High >130 mg/dL.
* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.
