How this service works
Friedewald estimated LDL-C from total cholesterol, HDL, and triglycerides. One unit system (mg/dL or mmol/L). Deterministic published equation with citation; not a diagnosis or statin order.
Output
Returns the estimated LDL-C value computed via the Friedewald equation (LDL = Total Cholesterol − HDL − Triglycerides/5 in mg/dL, or equivalent in mmol/L), along with the unit system used and a citation to the published equation. Not a clinical diagnosis or treatment recommendation.
Example use cases
Lipid panel LDL estimation at bedside
“I have a patient's lipid panel: total cholesterol is 240 mg/dL, HDL is 45 mg/dL, and triglycerides are 180 mg/dL — what does the Friedewald equation give for their LDL?”
SI unit LDL calculation for international lab
“Can you run the Friedewald LDL calculation using SI units? Total cholesterol is 6.2 mmol/L, HDL is 1.4 mmol/L, and triglycerides are 1.8 mmol/L.”
Automated LDL flagging in EHR pipeline
“For a patient whose total cholesterol just came back at 260 mg/dL, HDL at 38 mg/dL, and triglycerides at 220 mg/dL, compute the Friedewald estimated LDL so I can flag whether it crosses the treatment threshold.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/friedewaldWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic Friedewald LDL-C estimate from a standard lipid panel without direct LDL measurement, especially when triglycerides are under 400 mg/dL. Prefer the Sampson 2020 sibling endpoint (also on api.magentlab.com) when triglycerides exceed 400 mg/dL or when more modern accuracy is required. This endpoint is ideal for automated clinical workflows, EHR integrations, and risk-stratification pipelines that need a reproducible, citable LDL calculation.
Side effects
- Triglycerides above 400 mg/dL (or 4.5 mmol/L) are rejected — Friedewald equation is invalid above this threshold
- Mixing mg/dL and mmol/L inputs across parameters returns an error
- Missing any of the three required lipid values returns a validation error
- Values outside the accepted ranges (e.g. total cholesterol < 50 mg/dL) are rejected
- Providing both mg/dL and mmol/L versions of the same parameter causes a conflict error
