What is the normal range for VLDL?

The normal range for VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol levels is typically estimated rather than directly measured. The estimated range for VLDL cholesterol is often calculated using the Friedewald equation, with values below 30 mg/dL considered normal. However, it's important to note that the accuracy of the estimation decreases when triglyceride levels are very high or if an individual is not fasting. In some cases, direct measurement of VLDL cholesterol through specialized laboratory tests may be necessary for more accurate results. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance and interpretation of lipid profile results based on individual circumstances and available reference ranges.
