Cholesterol helps to make the outer layer of the cells in body, produce bile acids, which help in digestion and absorption of dietary fats. However, high cholesterol in the blood, could lead to development of fatty patches on the walls of blood vessels, known as atheroma. Blood testing is the only way to check cholesterol levels in the body.
