Martin/Hopkins LDL

Martin/Hopkins LDL: Improved LDL estimation with adjusted TG:VLDL ratio, especially accurate at low triglycerides.

Lipid Panel Values

Total Cholesterol (mg/dL)

HDL Cholesterol (mg/dL)

Triglycerides (mg/dL, <400 required)

Formula

VLDL = TG / adjusted_divisor
LDL = TC − HDL − VLDL

Guidelines & Evidence

Verified

Last Review: 2026

When to Use

LDL calculation when triglycerides <400 mg/dL

Particularly useful when TG <150 mg/dL (superior to Friedewald)

Fine-tuning of dyslipidaemia assessment

Research-grade lipid analysis; evolving clinical adoption

Advantages Over Friedewald

Adjustable TG:VLDL ratio based on TG levels (not fixed 5:1)

More accurate at low triglycerides (<150 mg/dL)

Better prediction of cardiovascular risk in lean phenotypes

Particularly useful in HFpEF and diabetes populations
