Detailed explanation-1: -Two types of lipoproteins carry cholesterol throughout the body: LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “bad” cholesterol, makes up most of your body’s cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a study of seven direct methods for measuring LDL-C, Miller et al. highlighted the challenges of accurate LDL-C measurement. Total errors of LDL-C assessment ranged from 13.3-13.5% across the assays in healthy individuals, and-26.6% to 31.9% in those with known cardiovascular disease or dyslipidemias.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is sometimes called the “bad” cholesterol because a high LDL level leads to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries. HDL stands for high-density lipoproteins. It is sometimes called the “good” cholesterol because it carries cholesterol from other parts of your body back to your liver.
