A blood test for sdLDL can help to determine if a person has a higher concentration of this subtype of LDL in their blood. This test typically measures the amount of LDL cholesterol and breaks it down into subfractions, including sdLDL. This test may be required in addition to other cholesterol tests to better understand a person's overall risk for heart disease. High levels of sdLDL may indicate a higher risk of developing heart disease, even if a person's overall LDL cholesterol levels are not considered high.
The LDL Small Dense (sdLD) test cost is Rs.600, although it is now available for Rs.470 because of the offer.
