Cholesterol Testing
Measure your LDL, HDL, and triglycerides to understand your heart disease risk. No GP referral needed.
About Cholesterol Testing
High cholesterol often has no symptoms but increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Our tests provide a full lipid profile to help you take preventive action.
What’s Measured?
- Total Cholesterol: Combined LDL and HDL levels.
- LDL ('Bad' Cholesterol): Linked to artery blockages.
- HDL ('Good' Cholesterol): Helps remove LDL from blood.
- Triglycerides: Excess fats stored in the body.
Preparation
Fasting for 10–12 hours before the test is recommended for accurate results.
Who Should Get Tested?
Adults over 40, or those with:
- Family history of heart disease or high cholesterol.
- Poor diet, smoking, or sedentary lifestyle.
- Diabetes or high blood pressure.
