Oxidized LDL (OxLDL) (Test Code 92769) from Quest Diagnostics is a blood test that measures the level of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in your blood. OxLDL is a form of "bad" cholesterol that can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing your risk of heart disease.
Why is it important?
 
High levels of OxLDL are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular issues. By making small adjustments to your diet and incorporating the right nutrients—like antioxidants (such as vitamin C and vitamin E) and omega-3 fatty acids—you can naturally reduce OxLDL levels and support heart health.
 
How to prepare:
No special preparation is usually required for this test, but your healthcare provider will let you know if any specific steps are needed.
 
With the OxLDL test, you'll gain important insights into your cardiovascular health and take steps to protect your heart!
