Significance of test

Cholesterol travels through the blood with proteins called lipoproteins. Two types of lipoproteins carry cholesterol:

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) major part of total cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise the risk for atherosclerosis and heart diseases.
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) carries cholesterol from periphery to the liver. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower the risk for atherosclerosis and heart diseases.
