Cholesterol VLDL

What is being analysed here?

VLDL cholesterol levels are analysed in the blood.

What does the result mean?

The result indicates the amount of VLDL cholesterol present in the blood. High values may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Why is this analysis performed?

It is done to assess cardiovascular risk and detect potential abnormalities.

When is this analysis performed?

This analysis is recommended for individuals with cardiovascular risk factors or family history. It is also requested during regular medical check-ups.

Is any sample required?

A venous blood sample is needed.

How should I prepare for this analysis?

Fasting is generally not required. Consult your doctor for specific instructions.

How is it used?

The result is interpreted alongside other lipid values (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL). It helps evaluate cardiovascular risk.

What are considered to be normal values?

There is currently no universal consensus on normal VLDL levels. Interpret VLDL levels in relation to LDL and triglyceride values. Altered values may increase atherosclerotic plaque formation, raising cardiovascular risk. Low VLDL is not a health concern.
