- Purpose: This test helps healthcare providers identify individuals at risk for cardiovascular conditions, monitor cholesterol levels over time, and guide treatment plans for cholesterol management.
- Interpretation: Total cholesterol levels are classified as desirable (below 200 mg/dL), borderline high (200-239 mg/dL), and high (240 mg/dL and above). Elevated total cholesterol can indicate an increased risk of heart disease.
- Procedure: A blood sample is usually collected after fasting for 9 to 12 hours to ensure accurate results. Patients should adhere to any specific preparation instructions provided by their healthcare provider.
