Oxidized LDL

The share of your LDL particles that have been chemically damaged by oxidation.

Unit U/LTypical adult range 37–149 U/L
What it is

The share of your LDL particles that have been chemically damaged by oxidation.

Why it matters

Oxidised particles are the form that artery walls actually take up, so the idea is to measure the harmful fraction rather than the total.

Reading the number

Assays differ enough between laboratories that values do not compare across providers, and there is no agreed target. Treat it as supporting information next to LDL and apolipoprotein B, not as a number to steer by.

Worth reviewing with the rest of the lipid panel rather than alone.

Tracking only, not a diagnosis. The range above is a typical adult reference range — the range printed by the lab that ran your test is the one that applies to you. Discuss anything that concerns you with your doctor.
