Overview:

Our Cholesterol Blood Test accurately checks the different types of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood.

Cholesterol is an important marker of heart health and helps assess your risk of heart disease and stroke.

What This Test Includes:

Overall amount of cholesterol in your blood including LDL and HDL cholesterol

Often called ‘bad’ cholesterol as it increases heart disease risk when high

Known as ‘good’ cholesterol as it removes excess cholesterol from your blood

Assesses balance of total and good cholesterol to help estimate your heart disease risk

Fats in the blood that can increase heart disease risk if elevated

Sample needed:

blood sample

Why Choose the Cholesterol Blood Test?

  • Comprehensive: This test is tells you about the different types of cholesterol as well as just the total amount. This is necessary to assess heart disease risk.
  • Clear Results: Clear and detailed reports, helping you understand your cholesterol results and what they mean. 

Results:

  • Availability: 2 working days
  • Presentation: Your results will be presented in an easy-to-understand format, highlighting any areas of concern. Along with your results, you’ll receive tailored recommendations on what steps to take next, whether that’s lifestyle changes or seeking medical advice.
  • Discuss with a doctor: After receiving your results you may choose to discuss them with a GP who can advise you on lifestyle changes to optimise your health (additional fee).

Preparation Required:

  • Fasting: Fasting is not strictly required. It has only a slight effect on your cholesterol results. However, it will give you a more accurate triglyceride (a type of fat) result. In this case, you should fast for 8-10 hours before the test; you can drink water without any problem.
  • Medications: Continue to take any prescribed medications as usual, unless advised otherwise.
