Learn more
VLDL cholesterol (very low-density lipoprotein) is produced by your liver and carries triglycerides through your bloodstream to tissues around your body. While your body needs some VLDL to transport fats, high levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. VLDL contributes to the build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries, which can lead to narrowing and hardening of the blood vessels. This test helps build a complete picture of your cholesterol profile and cardiovascular risk.
