Message definition (Low-density lipoprotein)
==Testing==
[[Blood tests]] commonly report LDL-C: the amount of cholesterol which is estimated to be contained with LDL particles, on average, using a formula, the [[Friedewald equation]]. In clinical context, mathematically calculated estimates of LDL-C are commonly used as an estimate of how much low density lipoproteins are driving progression of atherosclerosis. The problem with this approach is that LDL-C values are commonly discordant with both direct measurements of LDL particles and actual rates of atherosclerosis progression.
