Description
LDL stands for low-density lipoprotein, a type of cholesterol found in your body. LDL is often referred to as bad cholesterol. This is because too much LDL results in a build-up of cholesterol in your arteries, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Precaution
You should not eat or drink for 10 hours before the test, since food and drinks can temporarily change the levels of cholesterol in your blood. However, it is okay to have water.
