Experiences with

Very low density lipoprotein test (VLDL)

i am 28 year old My current weight is 81Kg My height is 5 Feet 9 inches Now i am worried about increasing weight Before 3 months my wight is 77 kgs In last 3 months of winter it increased 4-5 kgs In this week i do lipid profile test In that test Cholesterol -173 triglycerides -199 HDL

There was no statistical significance between CLL and control group for triglycerides (TG) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), also between HDL-C, VLDL, TG and grades. Cholesterol may metabolized by abnormal lymphocytes in CLL patients.

There's also a particular type of cholesterol associated with the liver called VLDL: Is this a test that an NHS GP can do or is it a specialist test?
