What is cholesteral?

Cholesterol is a type of fat that is found in your blood. There are two main types: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). LDL is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol because high levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, while HDL is known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the bloodstream.


LDL Diet Tips?

If you have high cholesterol, you should try a low LDL diet to reduce your risk of heart disease. You can start by increasing your intake of fiber. It works like a sponge and soaks up cholesterol before your digestive tract can release it to your body. Dairy products help you reduce your LDL by reducing your body's ability to absorb fat. Regular dairy products work just as well as the low-fat versions. Healthy fats that come from oily fish and nuts are important LDL fighters. Diets with adequate fiber, dairy products and good fats can lower LDL levels.

What is ldl cholesterole in laboratory test?

LDL cholesterol, also known as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, is a type of cholesterol that is often measured in a laboratory test to assess a person's risk of cardiovascular disease. Elevated levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to a buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Lowering LDL cholesterol levels through lifestyle changes or medication can help reduce this risk.


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).
