Cholesterol Lipid Profile

Total cholesterol
Triglycerides
HDL
LDL

This lipid profile test comprehensively evaluates 7 parameters, including total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL "good", LDL "bad" levels, and their respective ratios and percentages. High cholesterol levels affect over 40% of adults and are a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The only way to determine if you have high cholesterol is through a blood test.

While some cholesterol is necessary, a diet high in saturated fats, mainly found in animal fats, can lead to elevated levels. Genetics also play a significant role in cholesterol levels, and a blood test is crucial in determining this.

Approximately 1 in 250 individuals have a genetic condition called familial hypercholesterolemia, leading to dangerously high cholesterol levels and a higher risk of heart attacks. This condition can be managed but requires more than just dietary changes.

Knowing your cholesterol levels empowers you to take control and make necessary changes for a long and healthy life.

The turnaround time for receiving results is approximately 2-3 working days following the day your sample was taken. Each blood test includes a tailored report from a doctor and a detailed guide to assist in interpreting your results and providing insight into your overall health.
