Cholesterol Lipid Profile Test

Monitor your cholesterol levels and assess your cardiovascular health.

Procedure

Monitoring your cholesterol is an important step in maintaining heart health. A cholesterol lipid profile test helps assess your risk of developing cardiovascular conditions by measuring the levels of fats and cholesterol in your blood.

A cholesterol lipid profile measures:

  • LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) – often called “bad” cholesterol, which can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries.
  • HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) – known as “good” cholesterol, which helps remove LDL from the bloodstream.
  • Total Cholesterol – the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood.
  • Triglycerides – a type of fat that, in high levels, may increase heart disease risk.

This test gives a clearer picture of your cardiovascular health and helps identify any early warning signs of heart disease or stroke.

What to Expect at the Clinic:

  1. Initial Assessment
    When you arrive, you’ll be asked to complete a Medical History form. A brief consultation will follow, during which we’ll discuss any health concerns, lifestyle factors, or family history relevant to your cardiovascular risk.
  2. Preparation
    You’ll be advised to fast for 8–12 hours before the blood test. This helps ensure accurate measurement of your lipid levels.
  3. Testing
    A blood sample will be collected, usually from a vein in your arm. The process is quick and typically involves minimal discomfort.
  4. Aftercare
    After the test, we’ll provide simple guidance on post-test care and steps you can take to maintain or improve your cholesterol levels.
  5. Follow-Up
    A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to go over your results in detail. If your levels are outside the normal range, we’ll discuss personalised recommendations, which may include lifestyle changes or medication.
