Cholesterol - Blood Lipids Test in West Wickham
The Cholesterol test measures your blood lipid levels, including total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol), and triglycerides. These lipids play a critical role in cardiovascular health, and imbalances are a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke. For the most accurate results, fasting for 8 to 12 hours before the test is recommended.
Who Should Get Tested?
High cholesterol affects millions of UK adults and typically has no symptoms until it leads to a serious event like a heart attack or stroke. You should consider testing if you have a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol, are over 40, are overweight, have high blood pressure or diabetes, smoke, or have a sedentary lifestyle. Regular cholesterol testing is also essential for anyone already on cholesterol-lowering medication (statins) to monitor treatment effectiveness.
Understanding Your Results
| Marker | Healthy Target |
|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol | Below 5 mmol/L |
| LDL (bad cholesterol) | Below 3 mmol/L |
| HDL (good cholesterol) | Above 1 mmol/L (men) / Above 1.2 mmol/L (women) |
| Triglycerides | Below 2.3 mmol/L (fasting) |
Your overall cardiovascular risk depends on the balance between these markers, not just total cholesterol. Your clinic team will explain your full lipid profile and advise on diet, exercise, or medication if needed.
