What is a Cholesterol Test?

The cholesterol test is also known as Cholesterol (Serum) test, Blood cholesterol test, or lipid panel. 

It is a complete cholesterol test that provides information about the amount of cholesterol or triglycerides inside the blood. 

This test is essential because it gives an idea about the buildup of fatty acids in the arteries which can then lead to blocked arteries.
