Total Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol is a clinical biomarker on the Liver panel, reported in mg/dL. Standard reference range: 100–199 mg/dL. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 150–180 mg/dL.
What is Total Cholesterol?
Total cholesterol includes LDL, HDL, and VLDL fractions and is a foundational lipid panel component; it correlates with cardiovascular risk when interpreted alongside its subfractions.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (mg/dL) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | 100–199 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 150–180 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Total Cholesterol
SomaVue maps every result for Total Cholesterol 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.
