Small Dense LDL Cholesterol Measurement

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 83722

Measures the amount of small, dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in a blood sample. These are the smallest and heaviest particles of so-called bad cholesterol, and a high level is linked with greater risk of narrowed arteries than the standard cholesterol figure alone suggests. It is measured directly rather than being worked out from other cholesterol results.
