Understanding Your Lipid Panel

TC

Total Cholesterol

Sum of all cholesterol in your blood. Less meaningful alone - ratios tell a better story.

LDL

LDL ("Bad") Cholesterol

Deposits cholesterol in artery walls. Lower is generally better, especially with other risk factors.

HDL

HDL ("Good") Cholesterol

Removes cholesterol from arteries. Higher is protective - levels above 60 mg/dL reduce heart disease risk.

TG

Triglycerides

Fat in the blood from recent meals and stored body fat. Elevated levels linked to heart disease and metabolic syndrome.
