Advanced Cholesterol & Lipid Profile Testing

Understand Your Cardiovascular Health

Alongside Full Blood Count testing, we also offer comprehensive cholesterol and lipid profile analysis to help assess cardiovascular and metabolic health risks.

This test provides valuable insight into cholesterol balance, heart health, and lifestyle-related risk factors.

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein)

Often referred to as “good cholesterol” because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream.

Desirable Range:

Men: Above 1.0 mmol/L
Women: Above 1.2 mmol/L

Higher HDL levels are generally considered protective for heart health.

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein)

Known as “bad cholesterol” because elevated levels may contribute to plaque build-up in arteries.

Optimal Range:

Below 3.0 mmol/L

Lower levels are generally associated with lower cardiovascular risk.

Total Cholesterol (CHOL)

Measures the total amount of cholesterol in the blood.

Desirable Range:

Below 5.0 mmol/L

Triglycerides (TRIG)

A type of fat in the blood linked to diet, metabolism, and cardiovascular risk.

Normal Range:

Below 1.7 mmol/L

Non-HDL Cholesterol (NHDL)

Measures all potentially harmful cholesterol types combined.

Optimal Range:

Below 4.0 mmol/L

Non-HDL cholesterol is considered an important marker of cardiovascular risk.

HDL Ratio

Compares total cholesterol against protective HDL cholesterol.

Ideal Ratio:

Below 4.0

Lower ratios are generally associated with better heart health.
