Non-HDL-C measures the cholesterol content of all atherogenic lipoproteins, including LDL, as described above. Non-HDL-C is easily calculated from a lipid profile (non-HDL-C = total cholesterol minus HDL-C), and thus it incurs no additional testing cost to the healthcare system. Non-HDL-C levels can be measured from a sample in a nonfasting patient, as opposed to LDL-C measurements, which require fasting.
Non-HDL cholesterol, another calculated measure, does not rely on triglycerides, however, and can be done as a non-fasting sample. For these reasons, if one desires an accurate triglyceride and calculated LDL cholesterol level, it is ideal to fast for 8-12 hours prior to the test. HOWEVER, if this is not the case, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol values may still be obtained accurately, and will be useful.
