When the Triglyceride result is Greater than 400 mg/dl then the LDL-Calculation will be reported as “Unable to
calculate due to high Triglyceride”.
When the Triglyceride result is Greater than 1700 mg/dL, then the measured HDL will be reported as “Unable to
perform due to excessively high Triglycerides.”
