Cholesterol (Total)

Test Details & Description

The Cholesterol (Total) test measures the total amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. This test helps assess your risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions by providing important information about your lipid profile. A healthcare provider typically orders this test through a simple blood draw, and results can guide recommendations for lifestyle changes or medications if necessary.
