This test provides crucial information about an individual's lipid profile and helps assess their risk for developing cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease and stroke.
Total cholesterol is a measure of the overall amount of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver and obtained from dietary sources. While it is necessary for the body's proper functioning, high levels of cholesterol, particularly LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, can contribute to the development of plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of various cardiovascular problems.
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the bloodstream. The body uses triglycerides for energy storage, and they are derived from dietary fats or produced by the liver. High triglyceride levels are often associated with conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, and are considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
