CHOLESTEROL, LDL (LDL - D) (BI044)

Description

The LDL Cholesterol (LDL-C, Direct) test measures the level of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood using a direct assay. LDL is commonly known as the "bad cholesterol" because excess LDL can accumulate in artery walls, leading to plaque formation (atherosclerosis) and increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. Direct LDL measurement provides an accurate result even when triglyceride levels are elevated or when fasting samples are unavailable. The test is commonly performed as part of a lipid profile to evaluate cardiovascular health and guide treatment.
