A VLDL-C test calculates an amount of VLDL cholesterol in your blood. Although VLDL-C is not directly measured, it is calculated using a particular equation based on triglycerides results. For instance, the VLDL cholesterol test truly measures triglycerides to estimate the level of VLDL cholesterol.
The VLDL cholesterol test is rarely ordered separately. When a health practitioner wants to assess a patient's risk of heart disease, stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular conditions., it may be reported for estimating VLDL cholesterol in the blood as a part of the findings of a triglycerides test or a lipid panel. Thus it helps the physician in diagnosing, screening & monitoring heart and vascular health issues.
- Diagnosis: Knowing your VLDL cholesterol levels can also help your physician to advise proper lifestyle changes or treatment.
