Why is Non Hdl Cholesterol important?

Non-HDL cholesterol is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL alone because it includes all atherogenic particles. It's particularly useful when triglycerides are elevated (>200 mg/dL), making LDL calculation less accurate. Guidelines recommend non-HDL as a secondary treatment target.

What are the symptoms of abnormal Non Hdl Cholesterol levels?

Elevated non-HDL: Asymptomatic but indicates increased cardiovascular risk. Long-term elevation leads to atherosclerosis and its complications.

Basophils

Basophil percentage reflects allergic response mechanisms and immune system reactivity. Optimal levels support appropriate allergic responses without excessive inflammatory activation.

Nitrite

Urinary nitrites specifically detect nitrate-reducing bacteria, helping confirm bacterial UTIs and guide treatment decisions.

Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR)

The Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR) is an inflammatory marker that reflects the balance between innate (monocyte) and adaptive (lymphocyte) immune responses.
