This test is used for cardiovascular risk screening, especially if you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, or a family history of early heart disease.

Typically, fasting for 9 to 12 hours before the blood draw is required. You should only consume water during this fasting period. Avoid high-fat meals and alcohol for 24 hours prior to the test.

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is known as 'bad' cholesterol because high levels can cause plaque buildup in arteries. HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is 'good' cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the blood.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a biomarker that measures low levels of inflammation in blood vessels, helping to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

This test is done to measure LDL cholesterol, the main carrier of cholesterol in the blood. High levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries (atherosclerosis), increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. It is a key component of lipid profile testing and cardiovascular risk assessment.

  • If a healthcare provider is evaluating response to cholesterol-lowering treatment.
