About This Test
Cholesterol is a fat-like (lipid) substance essential for cell membrane structure, synthesis of steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D.
It is transported in the bloodstream bound to lipoproteins such as LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) and HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein).
The total cholesterol test is a key indicator of lipid metabolism and an important marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
