Browse 8 comprehensive laboratory tests with detailed information
Total Cholesterol
Sum of all cholesterol types in blood; key cardiovascular risk marker
Major risk factor for heart disease; higher levels increase risk
LDL Cholesterol (Bad Cholesterol)
Low-density lipoprotein; major atherogenic lipid that deposits in artery walls
Primary target for cholesterol-lowering therapy; lower is better
HDL Cholesterol (Good Cholesterol)
High-density lipoprotein; protective cholesterol that removes excess from arteries
Higher HDL levels reduce cardiovascular disease risk; inverse relationship with heart disease
Triglycerides
Primary form of stored body fat; elevated levels increase cardiovascular risk
Associated with metabolic syndrome and increased heart disease risk
VLDL Cholesterol (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein)
Calculated from triglycerides; triglyceride-rich particles that contribute to atherosclerosis
Elevated VLDL increases cardiovascular risk; calculated value
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
Ratio of total cholesterol to HDL; improved predictor than total cholesterol alone
Lower ratios indicate better cardiovascular protection
LDL/HDL Ratio
Ratio of bad to good cholesterol; strong predictor of heart disease risk
Lower ratios are protective; >5.0 indicates significant risk
Non-HDL Cholesterol
Total cholesterol minus HDL; includes all atherogenic particles (LDL + VLDL)
May be stronger predictor than LDL alone; target <130 mg/dL
