Test Code

VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) is a type of cholesterol-rich lipoprotein produced by the liver that primarily carries triglycerides into the bloodstream. Elevated VLDL levels are associated with increased triglycerides and a higher risk of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and stroke. The VLDL value is usually calculated from triglyceride levels rather than measured directly and forms an important part of lipid profile evaluation. This test is commonly advised for individuals with obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, or a family history of cardiovascular disease.
