Cholesterol plays a major role in heart health, and keeping track of your levels can help you understand your risk for heart disease. The Cholesterol and Lipid Test measures your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, providing a clear picture of your cardiovascular health.
 
 
What Does the Test Do?
This test evaluates your lipid profile, which includes LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), triglycerides, and other key markers. These measurements can help determine your risk for heart disease and guide you in making lifestyle changes or seeking medical advice to improve your heart health. High cholesterol often has no symptoms, so regular testing is important for maintaining cardiovascular health.
 
How It Works:
Collect a small blood sample at home using the kit provided.
Register your kit online and mail your sample to our lab with prepaid postage.
In 3 weeks, receive a detailed report on your cholesterol levels and lipid profile, helping you understand your heart health risk.
 
What’s in Your Health Report?
Your report includes six important cholesterol and lipid markers:
LDL Cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein): Commonly known as “bad” cholesterol, high levels can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries.
HDL Cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein): Known as “good” cholesterol, it helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream.
Total Cholesterol: The overall level of cholesterol in your blood.
Non-HDL Cholesterol: This includes all the “bad” types of cholesterol that can increase your risk for heart disease.
Triglycerides: A type of fat in your blood that, when elevated, can increase your heart disease risk.
CholesterolRatio: A key ratio that gives an overall picture of your cholesterol balance and heart health.
 
Why Take the Test?
Assess Your Heart Health: Understand your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which are key indicators of heart disease risk.
Monitor Progress: Track how lifestyle changes or treatments are affecting your cholesterol over time.
Proactive Health Insights: Use your results to guide heart-healthy decisions like diet, exercise, or medications.
 
Requirements:
Not everyone needs to fast for this test. However, if you’ve been diagnosed with high cholesterol or are on treatment, a 12-hour fast is recommended for accurate LDL results. You can still drink water while fasting. If you have diabetes or any medical condition that requires regular meals, check with your doctor before fasting.
