Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol Analysis

Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol Analysis is a blood test that measures the level of LDL cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. LDL cholesterol plays a critical role in the transport of cholesterol throughout the body and is considered a major contributing factor to plaque buildup in the arteries, which can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.


Reference Range:

LDL Cholesterol Analysis is crucial for assessing cardiovascular risk and cholesterol management, as high LDL levels significantly increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Management strategies include dietary modifications to reduce intake of harmful fats and increase fiber, regular physical activity to improve cholesterol profiles, and medications like statins, bile acid sequestrants, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, and PCSK9 inhibitors to lower LDL levels effectively. Regular lipid profile testing is essential to monitor LDL levels and adjust treatment plans, ensuring targeted interventions that help control cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk.
