Article Synopsis
- Most laboratories in India calculate low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) using Friedewald's formula due to its cost effectiveness, despite its limitations.
- A study compared three formulas—Friedewald's, Anandaraja's, and a new one by Martin—to measured LDL-C levels in 280 fasting samples across different triglyceride concentration groups.
- Results indicated that Martin's formula was the most accurate, with the highest correlation (0.9979), lowest mean difference (0.31), and least error percentage (0.23%) among the formulas tested.

Background: Hypocalcemia is one of the most common acceptable complications in postoperative period after thyroidectomy. Hypomagnesemia has been recognized after parathyroid surgery, and it has not been studied extensively after thyroidectomy.
