What is VLDL CHOLESTEROL?

VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is a type of "bad" cholesterol that carries triglycerides, a type of fat, from your liver to other parts of your body. This test measures VLDL cholesterol levels, often as part of a broader lipid panel, to assess your risk of heart disease.

Why is this test important?

High levels of VLDL cholesterol can contribute to the buildup of plaque in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke. Monitoring VLDL is crucial for individuals with a family history of heart disease, diabetes, or those managing existing cardiovascular conditions.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 9-12 hours is typically required before this test.
