Test Name: LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

About:
The LDL test measures the level of “bad” cholesterol in your blood. High LDL leads to cholesterol buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Test Overview:
LDL is the main carrier of cholesterol in the blood. Higher levels cause plaque formation in blood vessels, making this test crucial for cardiac risk assessment.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No (fasting recommended only if part of full lipid profile)

Test Overview:
Cholesterol is essential for cell function but high levels can lead to plaque build-up in arteries. This test helps evaluate lipid balance and guides lifestyle and treatment decisions.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Test Overview:
This test helps evaluate liver function, detect jaundice, and diagnose conditions affecting bilirubin metabolism. It includes both direct and indirect bilirubin values when done as a full liver panel.

Reports Delivery:
