what is really measured, what is calculated, what formulas are used

Concern about terminology (LDL vs LDL-C, HDL vs HDL-C)

However, in clinical practice and laboratory medicine, lipid panels typically report cholesterol content (LDL-C, HDL-C), not the lipoprotein particles themselves. Lipids and Lipoproteins, 2024, retrieved 18 April 2026Schaefer, E. J., Tsunoda, F., Diffenderfer, M., Polisecki, E., Thai, N., Asztalos, B. (29 March 2016). "Endotext [Internet]". The Measurement of Lipids, Lipoproteins, Apolipoproteins, Fatty Acids, and Sterols, and Next Generation Sequencing for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Lipid Disorders. MDText.com, Inc. .

This distinction is important analytically and clinically. Would it be more accurate to revise this to LDL-C and HDL-C (with clarification and sources)? Tkuya (talk) 21:03, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
