Book a Test- Cholesterol

A cholesterol test, also known as a lipid profile or lipid panel, is a blood test that measures the levels of different types of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. This test is used to assess an individual's risk of developing heart disease and stroke. By measuring the various components of cholesterol, healthcare providers can determine an individual's overall cholesterol levels and identify potential risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The test typically requires an individual to fast overnight before having their blood drawn. The results of the test provide a comprehensive picture of an individual's cholesterol levels, including their total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, and triglycerides. By analyzing these results, healthcare providers can determine an individual's risk of heart disease and stroke, and develop a plan to manage their cholesterol levels and reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.
