The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol test measures the amount of this type of cholesterol in the blood, known as "bad cholesterol" due to its contribution to plaque buildup in the arteries. This analysis is crucial for assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and monitoring heart health. We use automated spectrophotometry to ensure accurate and reliable results. This test is essential for patients at risk of heart disease or those who need to monitor their cholesterol levels as part of their health management.
A minimum 12-hour fast is required before the test. Please inform staff about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may interfere with the results.
