Blood fat test
Cholesterol screening is a blood test that measures lipid levels to assess cardiovascular risk.
The test typically reports total cholesterol, LDL ("bad" cholesterol), HDL ("good" cholesterol), and triglycerides.
Doctors recommend periodic screening for adults, with frequency depending on age and risk factors: My cholesterol screening showed elevated LDL.
