This test, and the LPP Plus test below, go beyond the typical cholesterol test in that these tests directly measure, rather than calculate, lipoprotein particles in both numbers and density. Since a standard cholesterol test does not detect all risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease, this enhanced test may be more useful to you. This profile tests for: Lipoprotein Fractionation, Lipoprotein Particle Numbers, Lp(a), Triglycerides.
