LDL
LDL is a clinical biomarker on the Liver panel, reported in mg/dL. Standard reference range: 0–100 mg/dL. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 50–75 mg/dL.
What is LDL?
LDL (calculated) transports cholesterol to peripheral tissues; elevated oxidized LDL particles are a primary driver of atherogenesis and coronary artery disease.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (mg/dL) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | 0–100 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 50–75 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets LDL
SomaVue maps every result for LDL against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
