What’s included
Total Cholesterol
The combined amount of cholesterol carried by the major blood lipoprotein groups.
HDL Cholesterol (HDL-C)
The amount of cholesterol carried inside HDL particles in the blood.
Triglycerides
Fats circulating in the blood that store energy from food the body does not immediately use.
LDL Cholesterol (LDL-C)Calc
The amount of cholesterol carried inside LDL particles, rather than the number of particles.
Calculated
Total Cholesterol to HDL RatioCalc
Calculated ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol, using measurements in the same units.
Non-HDL Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C)Calc
Calculated by subtracting HDL cholesterol from total cholesterol, capturing cholesterol in the remaining particles.
Total LDL particle number
Number of LDL-sized particles in blood, rather than the amount of cholesterol they carry.
Small LDL particle number
The concentration of smaller LDL particles, rather than their cholesterol content or average size.
Medium LDL particle number
Number of medium-sized LDL particles measured by ion mobility, rather than their cholesterol content.
Large HDL particle number
The concentration of HDL particles classified as large by the laboratory's specific method.
LDL pattern
A classification showing whether larger or smaller LDL particles predominate.
LDL peak size
A characteristic diameter of LDL particles, with different tests reporting a mean or peak size.
Peak diameter
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)
A protein carried by certain cholesterol-carrying particles; its amount reflects their total number.
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]
The amount of Lp(a), a cholesterol-carrying particle whose concentration is largely inherited.
Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 Activity (Lp-PLA2)
How actively the Lp-PLA2 enzyme works, rather than how much enzyme is present.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
A liver-made protein that rises in response to inflammation, measured with conventional or high-sensitivity assays.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
