The test for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is used as part of a lipid profile to predict an individual's risk of developing heart disease. Of all the forms of cholesterol in the blood, the LDL cholesterol is considered the most important form in determining risk of heart disease.
LDL's are cleared by the liver. HDL is generally fatty acid poor and cholesterol ester rich. It contains a different apolipoprotein which helps the body tell it apart from LDL. Simply put, it transports cholesterol back to the liver from other areas of the body.
