Low density lipoproteins (LDL) are a class of particles that carry cholesterol in the blood. The LDL fraction consists mainly of cholesterol and other substances with a low protein content. Typically, measurement of LDL cholesterol involves the use of a formula that calculates the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood using the results of other tests that are part of a lipid profile. Occasionally, LDL cholesterol can be measured directly by a specific method.
