The Cholesterol Test is a simple blood draw that measures your total cholesterol level, a key indicator of heart‑health risk. It uses a single venous blood sample to quantify total cholesterol, helping you understand whether lifestyle changes or medical guidance may be needed. Ideal for adults wanting a quick snapshot of cardiovascular risk, the test costs £35 (plus a £15 blood‑taking fee) and delivers results within a few days.
About this treatment
The Cholesterol Test provides a straightforward assessment of total cholesterol using one venous blood sample. Total cholesterol reflects the combined amount of LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, and elevated levels are associated with increased cardiovascular risk. After a brief office visit, a phlebotomist draws the sample; no fasting is required unless your clinician advises otherwise. Results are typically returned within a few business days, allowing you to discuss findings with a healthcare professional. The price listed is £35, not including the £15 fee for the blood draw. This test is well‑suited for adults monitoring heart health, those with a family history of heart disease, or anyone seeking baseline lipid information before starting a new diet or exercise program.
