What is OXIDIZED LDL?

The Oxidized LDL test measures a specific, more harmful form of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) that has been damaged by free radicals. This oxidized form is particularly damaging to your arteries.

Why is this test important?

This advanced marker helps assess your risk for atherosclerosis and heart disease, even if your standard LDL levels appear normal. High levels indicate increased oxidative stress and arterial damage.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 9-12 hours (no food or drink except water) is usually required for this test.
