Monocyte/HDL Ratio
The monocyte-to-HDL ratio is an emerging cardiovascular risk marker that combines pro-inflammatory monocyte counts with protective HDL cholesterol. Elevated ratios reflect an imbalance favoring vascular inflammation and have been associated with coronary artery disease, metabolic syndrome, and adverse cardiovascular events. It can be calculated from standard lipid and CBC results.
Optimal range: who says what
No institution or named practitioner we track states an optimal target for Monocyte/HDL Ratio. How we verify ranges.
- No stated targetNo separate optimal establishedHigher ratios track cardiovascular risk in cohort studies; no validated target exists
- Lab reference intervalNo established lab reference interval (calculated ratio)What a lab report flags against. A lab interval is not an optimal target.

Why Monocyte/HDL Ratio matters
Novel cardiovascular risk marker. High ratio indicates inflammatory atherosclerotic process. Combines immune and lipid parameters.
