What the result represents?
Aden's range
What a raised or a low result can indicate

Aden reads this result alongside ApoB, LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Lp(a) and your previous measurements. It is treated as one part of the wider cardiovascular picture, not as a diagnosis on its own.
What changes between tests?
Which related markers give it context?
ApoB, LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Lp(a)
