Monitor and manage your cholesterol with lipid profile screening covering total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, VLDL, and cardiac risk ratios.
High cholesterol causes no symptoms until a cardiovascular event occurs. You cannot feel your cholesterol levels — only a blood test can reveal them. Regular lipid profile testing is the only way to know if your levels are in a healthy range and whether your diet, exercise, or medication is working effectively.
Based on the tests relevant to cholesterol management, we recommend these packages:
Lipid, Liver, Kidney & Thyroid screening with home sample collection
An affordable option that includes a basic lipid profile alongside blood sugar and CBC — ideal for routine cholesterol monitoring.
68-parameter blood test including CBC, HbA1c & thyroid at home
Includes complete lipid profile with liver function and blood sugar tests, as these conditions are closely interrelated.
86-parameter health checkup with cardiac risk, pancreas & mineral screening
Adds advanced cardiac markers like hs-CRP and comprehensive metabolic screening for a complete cardiovascular risk assessment.
Cholesterol is a fatty substance essential for building cells and producing hormones, but excess LDL (bad cholesterol) deposits in artery walls, forming plaques that restrict blood flow and can trigger heart attacks and strokes. High cholesterol affects an estimated 25–30% of urban Indians, with numbers rising due to dietary changes and sedentary lifestyles.
A lipid profile is the standard screening test, measuring total cholesterol, LDL, HDL (good cholesterol), triglycerides, and VLDL. Advanced screening may include lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein B, and hs-CRP for a more detailed cardiovascular risk assessment. Regular monitoring is essential whether you are managing cholesterol through lifestyle changes or medication.
Ideal levels: Total cholesterol below 200 mg/dL, LDL below 100 mg/dL, HDL above 40 mg/dL for men and 50 mg/dL for women, and triglycerides below 150 mg/dL.
Adults over 20 should check every 5 years. Those with elevated levels, on medication, or with risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, smoking, family history) should check every 6–12 months.
Mildly elevated cholesterol can often be managed through dietary changes (reducing saturated fats, increasing fiber), regular exercise, and weight loss. Significantly elevated levels or high cardiac risk may require statin medication.
