🩸 Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP)

UseWhen to use: residual lipid risk adjunct beyond LDL-C.

Loading calculator…

StrataHigher AIP correlates with smaller denser LDL particle cues.

LimitsWhen not to use: extreme non-fasting TG without caveat. · Pitfall: mg/dL without conversion. · Not a CHD diagnosis.

log10(TG/HDL).

When to use

When to use: residual lipid risk adjunct beyond LDL-C.

How it works

AIP = log₁₀(TG/HDL) with mmol/L lipids.

Key points

  • log10(TG/HDL).
  • mmol/L native.
  • Next: full lipid risk.

Worked calculation

The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.

  • TG/HDL (mmol/L)：1.70 / 1.00
  • Cue：>0.21 — higher AIP band (cohort-dependent)

Frequently asked questions

Does Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
How is Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
Inputs: Lipid units mmol/L, Triglycerides 1.7 mmol/L or mg/dL, HDL-C 1.0 mmol/L or mg/dL → Result: AIP 0.230（TG/HDL (mmol/L): 1.70 / 1.00, Cue: >0.21 — higher AIP band (cohort-dependent)） Inputs: Lipid units mg/dL (auto-convert), Triglycerides 1.7 mmol/L or mg/dL, HDL-C 1.0 mmol/L or mg/dL → Result: AIP -0.129（TG/HDL (mmol/L): 0.02 / 0.03, Cue: <0.11 — lower AIP band）
