The Cholesterol – Total test measures the total amount of cholesterol in your blood, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Cholesterol is a fatty substance essential for building cell membranes, hormones, and vitamin D, but excessive levels can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. This test is commonly used as part of a lipid profile to assess cardiovascular risk, monitor therapy, or screen for metabolic disorders. Fasting for 9–12 hours before the test is usually recommended for accurate results. Regular monitoring can help guide lifestyle changes, diet, and treatment decisions to maintain heart health.
