What This Value Measures
LDL cholesterol transports cholesterol from the liver into the body. A high proportion is considered unfavorable for blood vessels.
Elevated Value
An elevated level can promote deposits in the vessels and increase cardiovascular risk.
Low Value
Low levels are generally considered favorable.
Note: The target level to aim for depends on individual risk.
Reference ranges are typical guide values for adults and vary depending on the laboratory, measurement method, age and sex — always compare with the range stated on your own report. A value outside the range does not automatically mean an illness, and a value within the range does not rule one out. The trend and overall picture are usually more informative than a single value. The doctor's assessment is always decisive.
