Know More about CHOLESTEROL, LDL, DIRECT
The Direct LDL Cholesterol Test assesses the amount of LDL cholesterol or "bad" cholesterol your blood contains. The measurement helps assess your risk for heart disease by showing your potential for cholesterol accumulation in your arteries. The Direct LDL Cholesterol Test is a strong indicator; however, you will need help from the other tests; in some cases if it is not accurate itself it still can help your doctor in his decision with your treatment to keep you heart healthy.
Process
- A small sensory sample is drawn from a vein, typically in your arm.
- A phlebotomist assesses the sampled blood utilizing specialized enzymes that quantitatively measure the LDL-cholesterol directly.
- Turn around time is quick and clarification of your LDL level is clear.
When to get the test
If you have high triglycerides, diabetes, or obesity, you might want to be tested. If your doctor wants to track the success of cholesterol-lowering treatments, you should be tested. The test can also be useful as part of routine screening for heart health.
Sample Type
The test requires a blood sample taken from a vein.
Test Preparation
The sample is usually taken after fasting for about 8–12 hours. Fasting is needed to ensure accurate results. You should also avoid alcohol and inform your doctor if you take medications.
Understanding Your Results
The lower the LDL, the better—risk of heart disease is lower. If your LDL tested high, your health care provider will likely suggest changes in your lifestyle or treatment. Either way, you should follow up with a health care provider who is able to track your heart health.
