Cholesterol, Total

This test measures the total amount of cholesterol, a waxy fat, circulating in your blood. It helps show whether you have elevated blood fats, which can increase the risk of heart disease and blocked arteries. Doctors use this result to screen for problems with how your body processes fat or to check for underlying liver or thyroid issues. However, this test does not distinguish between specific types of cholesterol or diagnose a heart condition by itself.
