Cholesterol test
June 24, 2018
Cholesterol is a waxy, fatty blood substance that your body needs to keep cells healthy. It’s produced by your liver and also is found in animal-based foods.
There are two kinds of cholesterol: ‘bad’ low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and ‘good’ high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Too much ‘bad’ cholesterol can clog your arteries and raise your risk of heart attack and stroke. Your doctor may order a cholesterol test as a part of a routine exam or if you have at least one of these risk factors:
* High blood pressure.
* Type 2 diabetes.
* Tobacco use.
* Overweight.
* Insufficient exercise.
* A diet high in saturated fat.
