Lag Results: Missing "Targets" for LDL & Cholesterol, Non-HDL

Can someone clarify if the Target Ranges are missing for:

- Cholesterol, NON HDL
- LDL

Every other component in the Lipid Panel has a Target, and these don't. Seems to me that they should. Can someone clarify?

Thanks

  Hi Sarah,

  The Non-HDL value is a calculated value. It is:
  (Triglycerides / 5) + LDL.

  The Mayo Clinic has good guidance on the ranges:

  Best,
