About test
What does TOTAL CHOLESTEROL measure?
This test measures the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, including cholesterol carried by different lipoproteins. It may be used as part of a lipid profile to assess cardiovascular risk, monitor cholesterol levels over time, or evaluate the effects of diet, lifestyle changes, or medicines. Results are interpreted together with other lipid measurements and an individual’s overall health context.
