Cholesterol/Lipid Test

The Cholesterol/Lipid Profile test is a blood test that measures the levels of different types of fats in your blood, including cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is produced by your liver and also found in certain foods. While our bodies need some cholesterol to function properly, too much can be harmful.

This test helps to assess your risk of developing heart disease and other related conditions. High levels of cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaque in your arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

The Cholesterol/Lipid Profile test provides important information about your total cholesterol, as well as the levels of different types of cholesterol, such as LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol). It also measures triglycerides, which are another type of fat in your blood.

Cholesterol Blood Test

Biomarkers (7)

HDL Cholesterol

The HDL Cholesterol test measures the level of a specific type of cholesterol in your blood called high-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL cholesterol is often referred to as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove harmful cholesterol from your arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease. If your HDL levels are low, it may indicate an increased risk of heart disease.

 

Low Density Lipoprotein

The Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) test measures the amount of a specific type of harmful cholesterol in your body. While some cholesterol is necessary for our bodies to function properly, too much LDL cholesterol can be harmful.

 

Total Cholesterol

The Cholesterol (Total) test is a blood test that measures the total amount of cholesterol in your body. This test is used to assess your risk of developing heart disease. High levels of cholesterol can lead to the build-up of plaque in your arteries, which can restrict blood flow and increase your chances of having a heart attack or stroke.

 

Triglyceride

Triglyceride is a blood test that measures the amount of fat in your blood. It is an important test because it helps doctors assess your risk for heart disease. Triglycerides are a type of fat that your body uses for energy. However, having high levels of triglycerides can be harmful to your health.

HDL percentage

The HDL Percentage test measures the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in your blood. Maintaining a healthy HDL percentage is crucial for maintaining a healthy heart and reducing the risk of heart-related problems. This test will assess your risk of developing heart disease and determine if any lifestyle changes or medications are needed to improve your cholesterol levels.

 

 Non-HDL-Cholesterol

The Non-HDL cholesterol test measures the amount of cholesterol in your body that is not considered damaging. Your non-HDL cholesterol is your total cholesterol minus your HDL cholesterol. It's all the 'bad' cholesterol added together, including your LDL cholesterol.

 

HDL Ratio

HDL Ratio test is a blood test that measures the ratio between two types of cholesterol in your body. By calculating the ratio between these two types of cholesterol you can get a better understanding of your overall cholesterol levels and assess your risk for heart disease. A higher ratio indicates a higher risk of heart disease, while a lower ratio suggests a lower risk.
