Cholesterol Blood Test
Understanding your cholesterol levels is an important part of maintaining long term heart health. Cholesterol plays a role in how your body produces hormones, builds cells and manages energy. When certain types of cholesterol become raised, your risk of cardiovascular disease can increase over time. This blood test provides a full breakdown of your lipid profile so you can see where you stand and what steps may support better heart health.
This test is often chosen by people who have a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or who are reviewing their lifestyle. It is also useful for anyone making changes to their diet or exercise routine and wanting to track their progress. Your results can help identify early signs of cholesterol imbalance, guide preventive action and provide a clearer foundation for medical advice when needed.
After your sample is taken by a clinician in our clinic, the laboratory processes your results quickly. Each result is presented in an easy to understand format with clear reference ranges. If needed, you can discuss the results with a clinician to explore treatment options, lifestyle adjustments and next steps.
