More information about each test:
Triglycerides: This is a type of fat in your body that forms when you consume more calories than you need. High triglyceride levels can increase your risk of heart attack or stroke.
Cholesterol: A waxy, fat-like substance found in all your cells, necessary for your body to function properly. However, excessive cholesterol in the blood raises the risk of coronary artery disease.
HDL: High-density lipoproteins, often referred to as "good" cholesterol, transport cholesterol from various parts of your body back to your liver.
LDL: Low-density lipoproteins, known as "bad" cholesterol, can lead to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries if present in high levels.
