What is the difference between cholesterol and total cholesterol values?

by on 2010/01/27

What is the formula for determining total cholesterol, and how does this differ (if at all) from a cholesterol value? In other words, is there a cholesterol value independent of total cholesterol, and, if so, is it used as part of the formula for total cholesterol. Thanks.

cholesterol and total cholesterol are the same. The fractions are LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol etc.
