Total Cholesterol – Essential Lipid Profile Test for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Total Cholesterol testing is a fundamental clinical chemistry assay used to measure the overall cholesterol level in blood, including HDL, LDL, and VLDL fractions. It is a key indicator in evaluating cardiovascular health, metabolic disorders, and lipid abnormalities, making it essential for routine health screening and diagnostic laboratories.

Performed on serum or plasma samples using automated biochemistry analyzers, the total cholesterol test provides accurate, reproducible results that support early detection of heart disease risk, monitoring of cholesterol-lowering therapy, and preventive healthcare planning.
