VLDL-Cholesterol (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) is a type of cholesterol that carries triglycerides in the bloodstream. The VLDL Cholesterol test measures the concentration of VLDL particles, which contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Elevated VLDL levels are often associated with high triglyceride levels and conditions like metabolic syndrome, obesity, and diabetes. This test is commonly used as part of a lipid profile to assess heart health and the risk of atherosclerosis.
