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).

How is ldl cholesterol diagnosed?

What does vldl ldl and hdl do?
The codes LDL, HDL and VLDL are all related to cholesterol screening and blood tests. These measure the lipoprotein in the blood. There are many benefits to having this test done.
What does an elevated LDL mean in a blood test?
LD=LDL? LDL is low density lipoprotein, a type of cholesterol (AKA "bad" cholesterol). It transports fatty acids and tryglycerol from the liver to cells around the body.

Does caffeine ingestion affect blood test levels of serum glucose or LDL?
It affects triglycerides by increasing lipolysis and therefore free fatty acid/glycerol levels, don't think it affects LDL cholesterol.
What exactly is ldl cholesterol?
LDL is a low density lipoproteins which flows with our blood. Because of its very nature of low density and very low amount of mass, sometimes it gets stuck inside the walls of blood vessels. If deposits gets accumulated over a period of time, it causes blockage to the healthy flow of blood causing more strain on our heart to pump the blood through narrowed blood vessels leading to heart attack/cardiac arrest.
Which type of cholesterol is good for you LDLs or HDLs why?
HDLs are good cholesterol and LDLs are bad for you. LDL stands for Low Density Lipoproteins and they stick to the inside of the arteries, narrowing them and making blood pressure higher. If one of the 'plaques' is knocked off, it can block the bloodstream causing a heart attack.
What are some blood test besides LDL and HDL to monitor the blood for high fat content including normal blood levels for all?
The other ones to check are the triglycerides and cholesterol. They can be tested at the same time as your lipids (your LDL/HDL) through what is called lipoprotein analysis (lipoprotein profile or lipid profile).
