I ordered this test after my GP mentioned my cholesterol was borderline last year. The home collection was quick and painless, and my updated results helped me confirm that my lifestyle changes are working.

Jarrod P.

Very smooth experience. I didn’t realise how important the Chol/HDL ratio was until I saw my report. It gave me a much clearer picture of my heart risk.

Angela V.

Excellent service and very fast turnaround. My triglycerides were higher than expected, which helped me take action early with diet changes.

Sameer D.

I booked this test for peace of mind after turning 40. The nurse was lovely and the report was easy to read. I now feel much more in control of my heart health.

Megan T.

Great private option for checking cholesterol without long clinic waits. Email results arrived within two days and my GP was happy with the report format.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Lipid Profile Test measure?

This test measures:

  • Total Cholesterol
  • Triglycerides
  • HDL (Good Cholesterol)
  • LDL (Bad Cholesterol)
  • Cholesterol / HDL Ratio

Together, these markers assess your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Why is the Cholesterol/HDL ratio important?

The Chol/HDL ratio shows the balance between harmful and protective cholesterol. A lower ratio generally means lower cardiovascular risk.

Who should get a Lipid Profile Test?

This test is recommended for:

  • Adults over 30 years
  • People with a family history of heart disease
  • Individuals who are overweight or inactive
  • Those with diabetes or high blood pressure
  • Anyone monitoring the effect of statins or diet changes

Can coffee affect my cholesterol test?

Black coffee without milk or sugar is usually allowed during fasting, but it’s safest to avoid coffee completely before your test for the most accurate results.

What does high LDL cholesterol mean?

High LDL cholesterol is linked to:

  • Blocked arteries
  • Increased risk of heart attack
  • Increased risk of stroke

Your GP may suggest lifestyle changes or medication depending on your risk level.

What does low HDL cholesterol mean?

Low HDL reduces your body’s ability to remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, which may increase heart disease risk.

Can exercise affect my results?

Yes. Regular physical activity can:

  • Lower LDL
  • Raise HDL
  • Reduce triglycerides

Avoid heavy exercise 24 hours before your test for more stable readings.

How often should I check my Lipid Profile?

Most people check:

  • Once per year for routine screening
  • Every 3–6 months if managing high cholesterol or taking statins
