LDL, or low density lipoproteins, are the "bad cholesterol" you hear about on television.
When your physician orders a lipid panel, there are two ways of determining the LDL, calculated from the HDL and total cholesterol, or direct measurement. The lab which ran your specimen apparently uses the direct measurement, which is the most accurate.

What does the medical abbreviation LDL mean?
LDL means low density lipoprotein.
What does it mean if you have high LDL-P?
LDL-P stands for 'LDL-Particles' (as opposed to LDL-C which is LDL-Cholesterol). It's measured with a blood test commonly called "the particle test", and your LDL-P tells you the number of LDL particles in your blood. Usually LDL-P is measured along with LDL-C to obtain a more complete, detailed measure of cardiovascular risk - some doctors believe that particle levels as well as total cholesterol matter. Treatment strategies differ depending on the relationship between LDL-P and LDL-C, so there's not a 'cut and dried' target number for LDL-P (as there is for LDL-C).
