[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 223671, member: 18023"] Recently, I got new blood test, I included Oxidized LDL My number was 21 ng/ml range 10-170. I believe lower is better, wondering why there is lower limit of 10? But more confusing, and this happens often, comparing this number with studies. These studies tend to use different conventions. One study: Circulating Oxidized LDL Is a Useful Marker for Identifying Patients With Coronary Artery Disease. [URL]https://www.ahajournals.org[/URL] › pdf › 01.atv.21.5.844 In there, they said: “Levels of oxidized LDL were [B]2.93 +/-.17 mg/dL[/B] for patients with 1-vessel disease” [B]So if I try can convert this using my 21 ng/dl, 2.93 mg/dl translates to 29,300 ng/dl ![/B] [B]This means I have 0.0021 mg/dl?[/B] I realize these are people with “1-vessel disease” but the number of 29,300 seems really high even for people with problems. So is my math correct? Even harder to reconcile, some studies use UNITs/L. Oxidized LDL and its correlation with lipid profile and oxidative stress biomarkers in young healthy Spanish subjects [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20652473/[/URL] Un there they said: (Normal mean reference values): oxLDL (63.23 +/- 16.23 U/L), Does anyone know how I would relate my 21 ng/mg to 63.23 U/L ? Like, how many U/L is 21 ng/mg? [/QUOTE]
