Cholesterol test Finger prick 15

£15

Having high cholesterol doesn't show symptoms. You can only know through a blood test. High cholesterol can block arteries, causing heart disease, heart attack, or stroke.

A 5-minute finger prick test can measure your HDL & cholesterol levels and assess your heart disease risk based on your HDL to total cholesterol ratio.

Biomarkers:

Total Cholesterol is a measurement of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood. This includes low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols. Cholesterol is used to produce hormones for development, growth and reproduction.

High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is a form of cholesterol which is considered ‘good’ cholesterol because it helps remove cholesterol from the heart’s arteries.

Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio is a mathematical calculation which indicates the ratio of total cholesterol versus ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol in the blood.
