Reference Range

	Male	Female
Cholesterol	< 200 mg/dL	< 200 mg/dL
Triglyceride	< 150 mg/dL	< 150 mg/dL
HDL	> 40 mg/dL	> 40 mg/dL
LDL	< 130 mg/dL	< 130 mg/dL
Cardiac Risk Factor	<= 4.97	<= 4.44
Relative Risk	<= 1.00	<= 1.00

Reference Range above is optimal for patients with minimal risk factors. The target ranges for patients of higher risk may vary*.
* American Diabetes Association Guidelines for people with diabetes:
   The target range to be considered LOW Risk:
   LDL: less than 100 mg/dL (a derived test by this method)
   HDL: greater than 45 mg/dL (men), greater than 55 mg/dL (women)

Equations used for derived tests are not appropriate for specimens in which the triglyceride concentration is greater than 400 mg/dL. A physician request for Direct LDL testing may be indicated.
