₹225
Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is an NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre that will offer you the right Serum LDL Cholesterol test service with all modern and up-to-date diagnostic equipment. This blood test will determine how much low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are in your blood. LDL (often called bad cholesterol) levels can cause fat accumulation in the arteries. This may be a risk factor for heart disease.
What is Serum LDL Cholesterol?
Serum LDL Cholesterol is a blood test that is used to measure LDL cholesterol. It is possible to conduct this test, which is part of a general lipid profile or stand-alone, and may be requested by your doctor. This high level of LDL can increase the risk of atherosclerosis (plaque in the arteries), coronary artery disease, and stroke. The test can help your doctor see if a change in your lifestyle or medication is needed and understand your cholesterol level.
Conditions Evaluated
Hypercholesterolaemia
Having high blood cholesterol is referred to as hypercholesterolaemia. This is a test that assists your doctor in deciding whether the levels of LDL are high.
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is the deposit of fat (cholesterol) in the arteries. As the LDL cholesterol level is high, plaques are formed.
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is when the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart narrow or block. A person's risk from lipids is important, and this test shows your doctor your risk from lipids.
Stroke Risk
Atherosclerosis can cause problems with the arteries supplying the brain, increasing your risk of having an ischaemic stroke. This test will give information about LDL cholesterol that will be helpful.
Familial Hypercholesterolaemia
It's an inherited condition, and it has very high levels of LDL. This will let your doctor see your cholesterol levels and can be helpful to further explore if you have a relevant family history.
