Impact of fasting duration on LDL cholesterol concentrations estimated by the Friedewald, Martin-Hopkins, and Sampson/NIH equations
The variation in postprandial LDL-C concentrations was observed not to differ between the three calculation methods and reached negligible concentrations after at least 8 hours of fasting. If LDL-C concentrations measured in a nonfasting state are near clinical decision thresholds, subsequent lipid measurement should be performed in a fasting state.
