The cholesterol your panel does not print: what is left once LDL and HDL are taken out of your total.
| Result | Band |
|---|---|
| Under 24 mg/dL | Optimal |
| 24 to 30 mg/dL | Above optimal |
| Above 30 mg/dL | High |
Remnant cholesterol = total − LDL − HDL. Around 30 mg/dL is a widely used upper reference point.
BloodMarker reads your whole panel and tells you what the lines say together, which is the part no single calculation can do.

It is the cholesterol carried in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, mainly VLDL and IDL. It is not printed on a standard panel but is simple to calculate.
It is the fraction most closely tied to high triglycerides, and it is not captured by looking at LDL alone.
