What is a Cholesterol test?

Cholesterol levels can be associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, which can cause heart attacks or strokes. Measuring your cholesterol can help you to make lifestyle and dietary changes to improve your chances of a long and healthy life.
Cholesterol is essential for formation of cell membranes, hormones and bile acids. Cholesterol comes both from your diet and the production of cholesterol in the liver. Cholesterol and other lipids are carried in the blood attached to proteins, forming particles known as lipoproteins.
HDL, or high density lipoprotein, is often called good cholesterol because it helps prevent disease by carrying cholesterol away from the cells, back to the liver, where it can be broken down and removed from the body. Cholesterol:HDL ratio is the ratio between all forms of cholesterol and HDL, the lower the ratio the better.
LDL Cholesterol - LDL cholesterol is part of low density lipoprotein. This is often called bad cholesterol, because if there’s too much LDL cholesterol in your blood it can build up in the arteries, clogging them up. Non-HDL is a measure of all forms of Cholesterol apart from HDL.
Triglycerides are the body's storage form of fat. Most triglycerides are found in fat (adipose) tissue, but some circulate in the blood to provide fuel for muscles to work. Extra triglycerides are found in the blood after eating a meal - when fat is being sent from the gut to fat tissue for storage. Triglycerides are the ‘saturated’ and ‘unsaturated’ fats you read about on food labels.

Testing requirements

You must be in a fasting state to accurately measure your baseline triglyceride levels. Do not eat for 8 hours before taking the test, we recommend taking the test in the morning before breakfast.
