- It’s essential to monitor LDL cholesterol. It’s one of the major risk factors for several diseases such as apo A1, apo B, and lipoprotein.
What does it measure?
- The Lipid Profile test usually measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides levels. The other results that may be reported include derived VLDL cholesterol, derived non-HDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio.
- Cholesterol and triglycerides are essential lipids that are carried in the blood by lipoprotein particles made up of cholesterol, triglycerides, proteins, and phospholipid molecules.
- The lipoprotein particles are classified according to their density into HDL, LDL, and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL).
