It helps identify abnormal levels of LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), triglycerides, and total cholesterol.

Understanding Cholesterol: Good vs Bad Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a fatty substance essential for building cells, hormones, and Vitamin D, but too much “bad” cholesterol (LDL) can build up in blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. “Good” cholesterol (HDL) helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream.
