    What is Cholesterol Test?

    The Cholesterol test is a blood test that evaluates the total cholesterol levels in your bloodstream. Cholesterol is a fatty, wax-like substance that is essential for building healthy cells and facilitating various bodily functions. However, high cholesterol levels can lead to serious health complications.

    This test measures total cholesterol, which includes three key components: LDL (low-density lipoprotein, known as "bad" cholesterol), HDL (high-density lipoprotein, referred to as "good" cholesterol), and triglycerides. LDL is labelled "bad" because it can cause plaque buildup in your arteries, narrowing them and increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes. Conversely, HDL is considered "good" cholesterol since it aids in removing excess cholesterol from the blood, thus protecting heart health.

    Doctors often order a total cholesterol test as part of a lipid profile to assess overall fat levels in the blood. A high total cholesterol level indicates an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues. Regular cholesterol testing is vital, especially for individuals with risk factors like a poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, or a family history of heart disease.

    Cholesterol Test Parameters

    The Cholesterol test measures the total amount of cholesterol in your blood.

    This total is determined by adding together LDL, HDL, and one-fifth of your triglycerides. High levels of LDL cholesterol are concerning because they suggest accumulation in the arteries, raising heart disease risk. HDL, however, is protective; it helps eliminate excess bad cholesterol from the blood by transporting it to the liver. While high HDL levels are beneficial, high triglyceride levels can also pose risks similar to LDL.

    Generally, elevated total cholesterol indicates potential heart issues and can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

    Cholesterol Test Preparation

    Keep the following points in mind before scheduling a Cholesterol test in Gurgaon:

    Prerequisites for Cholesterol Test

    • There is no fasting requirement for the Cholesterol test.

    Best Time to Get a Cholesterol Test

    • This test can be done at any time of the day.

    Who Should Get a Cholesterol Test?

    • It is suggested for those with a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, smokers, individuals who are overweight, or those with a high-fat diet.

    Cautions Before Taking Cholesterol Test

    • Generally, no specific preparation is necessary. However, it is advisable to consult your doctor beforehand to ensure the test is appropriate for you.

    Why Take the Cholesterol Test?

    While cholesterol is a vital fat in the body, having it in excess can be harmful. Too much cholesterol can accumulate in your arteries, forming plaque that results in a condition known as atherosclerosis. This buildup can limit blood flow to important organs, leading to serious health issues, including coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and carotid artery disease.

    A major concern is that high cholesterol generally does not show symptoms, so you may remain unaware of it until it causes a heart attack or stroke. Therefore, regular cholesterol testing is crucial for early detection. Monitoring your cholesterol levels empowers you to make informed lifestyle choices and reduce your risk of heart disease.

    • I had to travel out of India, and needed my RTPCR to be done 24 hours prior to my travel. Orange Health Diagnostic helped me at a very critical time and gave me my RT PCR test in 3 hours once the sample was collected. Their website is very user friendly and one can track everything on it. They were really quick with their service and the sample collection happened following all protocols and happened very quickly. I registered at 9am and my sample was collected at 10.15am the same day. I recommend this lab to everyone! It was a wonderful experience
