Non-HDL Cholesterol
Your total cholesterol minus your HDL.
Subtraction, but a genuinely useful one — it captures all the artery-clogging particles at once.
This one isn’t a test
Non-HDL Cholesterol = Total Cholesterol − HDL
No extra sample was taken for this and no extra assay was run. It is arithmetic on numbers already on your report, but it still adds a line to the advertised test count.
Computed from HDL Cholesterol and Total Cholesterol.
That does not make the number useless: eGFR is calculated and doctors act on it every day. It means it should not be counted as a separate test when you are comparing what a package costs.
