Use of total cholesterol calcium ratio as an alternative to low density lipoprotein cholesterol and use of total cholesterol albumin ratio as an alternative to total triglycerides serum measurement

In a study of apparently healthy 100 serum samples divided to 3 groups according to serum cholesterol level, a highly correlation between serum cholesterol/calcium ratio and low density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] was noted. The TC/Ca+2 ratio was used to determine whether this was better than TC by itself. This ratio performed better than TC and correctly classified according to LDL-C. Also, TC/albumin ratio was used noted a highly significant with serum triglycerides than TC by itself. A very highly significance of TC/Ca+2 ratio and TC/albumin was noticed. Since measurements of TC albumin and calcium are routinely available on multichannel analysis, use of this ratios would provide a less expensive alternative to LDL-C or triglycerides measurements and more predicted
