About the Test
Cholesterol is a fatty substance your body needs for cells and hormones, but too much in the blood raises the risk of heart disease and stroke. This test measures your total cholesterol, giving a simple snapshot used in routine heart-health checks. For a fuller picture, doctors often look at a complete lipid profile that also breaks down LDL, HDL, and triglycerides.
What is it? A blood test measuring the total cholesterol level in your blood.

Cholesterol test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Cholesterol test?
- As a routine heart-health and cardiovascular risk check
- To monitor cholesterol in people with high levels, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease
- To track the effect of diet, lifestyle changes, or cholesterol-lowering medication
How to prepare for the Cholesterol test
Fasting is usually recommended for cholesterol testing. Have nothing but water for about 9 to 12 hours beforehand, so a same-morning slot after an overnight fast works well. Our nurse then collects the sample at your home or office in around 20 minutes; keep taking prescribed medicines unless told otherwise.
Understanding your Cholesterol results
A higher total cholesterol is generally linked to greater cardiovascular risk and may prompt lifestyle changes or treatment, while lower levels are usually favourable. Total cholesterol alone does not tell the whole story, so a doctor interprets it with your HDL, LDL, and overall risk factors before advising.
