The Cholesterol Blood Test (lipid screen) measures five markers: total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, the total cholesterol to HDL ratio and triglycerides. It shows your cholesterol and blood fat levels so you can see where you stand.

High cholesterol usually has no symptoms, so a blood test is the only way to know your levels. For a deeper look that includes ApoB and Lp(a), see our Advanced Cholesterol Blood Test.

What the Cholesterol Blood Test measures

Biomarker What it shows
Total cholesterol Your overall cholesterol level
LDL cholesterol Often called "bad" cholesterol; it contributes to fatty build-up in the arteries
HDL cholesterol Often called "good" cholesterol; it helps carry cholesterol away
Total cholesterol to HDL ratio Puts your total and HDL numbers in context
Triglycerides Blood fats linked to diet, alcohol and insulin resistance

Frequently asked questions

How long do results take?

Results are usually available within 72 hours.

What is the difference between this and the Advanced Cholesterol Blood Test?

This test covers the standard lipid markers. The Advanced Cholesterol Blood Test adds ApoB, ApoA, the ApoB:ApoA ratio, Lipoprotein(a) and PLA2 activity.

Do I need to fast?

We will tell you how to prepare when you book.

Does this test diagnose heart disease?

No. It measures your cholesterol levels, which are one of several factors your clinician looks at when assessing heart health.

Good to know

This test measures levels in your blood and does not diagnose a condition. It does not replace care from your GP, and if you feel unwell you should seek medical advice. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your health information.
