About this test
A simple way to check your cholesterol
Cholesterol is a naturally occurring fatty substance that your body needs for normal cell function, hormone production and other essential processes.
However, having too much of certain types of cholesterol in the bloodstream can contribute to the development of fatty deposits within the arteries and increase cardiovascular risk.
This blood test provides a detailed lipid profile, including total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and the total cholesterol to HDL ratio.
