The VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol test measures the level of VLDL in the blood. VLDL is a type of lipoprotein that carries triglycerides, a form of fat, from the liver to different parts of the body.
High levels of VLDL cholesterol may contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Therefore, measuring VLDL levels is important for evaluating overall cholesterol balance and cardiovascular health.
This test is usually performed as part of a lipid profile to assess different types of cholesterol in the blood. In addition, the results help doctors determine whether lifestyle changes or medical treatment may be required to manage cholesterol levels.
Follow the fasting instructions if advised by your doctor.
Inform the technician or doctor about any medications you are taking.
Mention if you are taking cholesterol-lowering medicines.
Avoid alcohol and heavy meals before the test.
Carry previous lipid profile or cholesterol reports, if available, for better evaluation.
