LDL Cholesterol

Low-density lipoprotein is a blood component that is detected during routine laboratory tests in the medical practice.

This is used to measure a fraction of ingredients in blood that studies have linked to the development of arteriosclerosis. During the examination, all cholesterol levels in the blood are measured and the proportion of LDL in the blood is measured. This proportion is often referred to as the "bad" cholesterol.
