LOINC description : The Martin-Hopkins method for calculating LDL cholesterol uses a variable value for
the triglyceride adjustment factor, where the adjustment factor depends on the measured
triglyceride and non-HDL cholesterol levels. The calculation used since the 1970s,
called the Friedewald formula, uses a fixed adjustment factor of 5, which results
in an inaccurate calculated LDL result when triglycerides are high or LDL-C levels
are low. [PMID: 24240933];
