About test
What does Cholesterol VLDL - Serum measure?
This test measures very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, a type of cholesterol that carries triglycerides in the blood. It is often included as part of a lipid profile to help assess lipid metabolism and overall cardiovascular risk. A healthcare professional may order it when evaluating high cholesterol or triglyceride levels, monitoring known lipid disorders, or assessing response to lifestyle changes or treatment. Results are interpreted alongside other lipid measurements and clinical factors.
