cholesterol test
Blood fat check
A cholesterol test is a blood test measuring levels of cholesterol and related fats in the bloodstream.
The results typically break down total cholesterol, HDL ("good" cholesterol), LDL ("bad" cholesterol), and triglycerides.
Doctors use these numbers to assess cardiovascular risk: My cholesterol test came back high, so I'm cutting back on red meat.
