Reference ranges
Non-HDL cholesterol reference range
Reference ranges describe the interval a laboratory prints next to your result. They are not a diagnosis of what is “normal” for you personally — your clinician interprets results in context.

What Non-HDL cholesterol measures
This calculated value groups together LDL and other non-HDL particles in one number, using the same lipid panel results.
Why ranges differ
Laboratories set their own reference intervals using their methods, equipment, and population data. That is why the range on your Quest report may differ from a LabCorp report — always use the interval printed on your source document.
Common units
Non-HDL cholesterol is often reported in mg/dL. Confirm units on your original report before comparing values across time.
