Dyslipidemia algorithm: target LDL cholesterol. Values given are in mg/dL. To convert to SI units, divide results for TC, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and non-HDL cholesterol by 38.6; for triglycerides, divide by 88.6. TG indicates triglycerides; C, cholesterol; RF, risk factor; FHx, family history; a Obtain FLPs at least 2 weeks but no more than 3 months apart. b Per Table 9-9, use of drug therapy is limited to children aged 10 years and older with defined risk profiles. c In a child with an LDL cholesterol level of >190 mg/dL and other risk factors, a trial of the CHILD-2–LDL may be abbreviated.
