The Cholesterol Complete Test is used to screen for elevated cholesterol as a risk factor in coronary artery disease. Cholesterol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving excess cholesterol in the blood and lipid and lipoprotein metabolism disorders.
 The Cholesterol Complete Test is intended for in-vitro diagnostic for the semi-quantitative determination of Cholesterol and High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in whole blood. The test also allows for the approximation of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) through a simple calculation.
This test provides preliminary analytical results. All results indicating elevated blood cholesterol levels should be verified by a confirmatory method. Clinical considerations and professional judgment should be applied to the interpretation of results by this test.
Summary and Explanation
Cholesterol, a lipid, is associated with the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, and the measurement of cholesterol blood levels is used to classify patients according to coronary heart disease risk, to diagnose and treat various primary or secondary hyperlipidemias, and to monitor changes resulting from treatment.
