What does VLDL medically mean

VLDL is the medical abbreviation for very low density lipoprotein. VLDL is mainly composed of cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides, etc. In clinical tests, it is usually measured at the same time as triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, etc. It is called a lipid test, reflecting the body’s blood lipid profile. The main reason for the elevation of very low density lipoprotein is the relatively high triglyceride glycerol, which can be seen in pancreatitis, obesity, diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, uremia and other diseases. If the value is found to be elevated, the first step is to go to the hospital for another review. If the review is still high and accompanied by other abnormalities, it is necessary to take lipid-lowering drugs such as atorvastatin calcium tablets under the guidance of a doctor.
