TOTAT CHOLESTEROL:- A complete cholesterol test is done to determine whether your cholesterol is high and to estimate your risk of heart attacks and other forms of heart disease and diseases of the blood vessels. A complete cholesterol test includes the calculation of four types of fats in your blood: Total cholesterol. HDL (high-density lipoprotein), or “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke. LDL cholesterol:- LDL (low-density lipoprotein), sometimes called “bad” cholesterol, makes up most of your bodys cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke. VLDL cholesterol:- VLDL is one of the three main types of lipoproteins. VLDL contains the highest amount of triglycerides. VLDL is a type of bad cholesterol because it helps cholesterol build up on the walls of arteries. A lab test is used to measure the amount of VLDL in your blood.

High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.
