Cholesterol, Total

Cholesterol, Total is a blood test that measures the overall level of cholesterol in the bloodstream, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Total cholesterol is an important indicator of cardiovascular health, helping to assess the risk of heart disease and stroke. Elevated total cholesterol levels may suggest an increased risk of cardiovascular problems, while low levels can indicate other health issues. This test is commonly used as part of routine health screenings and helps guide lifestyle changes or medical interventions to manage cholesterol levels effectively.
