Hi what is the test for particle size called on the lancet form? in relation to cholestrol , i need one for a research study i am part of at wits, tx
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Particle size: A special lipid panel will tell you how dense or fluffy the particles of your cholesterol are. Dense stick more to sides of blood vessels but large and fluffy ones do not. Peace and good health.
