Medical disclaimer
Test details are for general information only and not a substitute for medical advice. Reference ranges vary between labs. Always discuss results with a registered medical practitioner before starting, stopping or changing any treatment.
What this test measures
The LDL Cholesterol reports the following parameters. These are this lab’s own reference ranges: the same ones your result is reported against, not a generic table. Adult values are shown; where a range differs by age, the range for your age is applied automatically when the result is released. Always read results with your doctor.
| Parameter | Reference range | Unit | Method | LOINC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LDL (Bad Cholesterol) | < 100 | mg/dL | Direct (selective detergent / enzymatic) | 13457-7 |
Understanding your results
For the parameter below, here is what a value outside the reference range may be associated with. These are general, textbook associations: a result outside the range is not a diagnosis on its own.
Fats carried in your blood. Over years they affect how easily blood moves through your vessels, which is why these are measured together rather than one at a time.
| Parameter | If higher than range | If lower than range |
|---|---|---|
| LDL (Bad Cholesterol) | A high LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol is associated with a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. | A low LDL cholesterol is generally considered favourable for heart health. |
Reference ranges vary by laboratory, age, sex and method, and results must be interpreted together and in the context of your health. This information is educational and is not a diagnosis or medical advice, always discuss your report with your doctor.
