What are the Tests for Hyperlipidemia?
Hyperlipidemia tests include those for total levels of cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. High levels of overall cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides, and low levels of HDL, are likely to result in heart disease. In addition to changes in diet and lifestyle, a number of medications can reduce fat levels in the blood.
