Comprehensive cholesterol LDL blood test & health dashboard.
Specialty biomarker testing measures advanced markers that go beyond standard blood panels to provide deeper insight into specific biological pathways. These tests are commonly used in functional and integrative medicine to identify root causes of symptoms, assess cellular health, and guide personalized treatment protocols. Markers like IGF-1 reflect growth hormone activity and aging, lipoprotein(a) reveals inherited cardiovascular risk invisible to standard lipid panels, and neurotransmitter profiles can explain mood and cognitive symptoms. Results enable highly targeted interventions that standard tests would miss.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
People working with functional or integrative medicine practitioners. Those seeking root-cause analysis beyond standard blood work. Longevity enthusiasts tracking advanced biomarkers. Anyone with persistent symptoms despite normal standard labs.
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting may be required depending on the specific marker. Follow your clinic's instructions. Some tests require morning samples for accurate results. Bring a list of all supplements — many affect these markers.
Biomarkers Tested
18Lp(a) is a cholesterol-carrying particle linked to genetic risk for heart disease. High levels increase cardiovascular risk.
The combined measure of all cholesterol in your blood, including HDL, LDL, and VLDL. While useful as an overview, the breakdown between HDL and LDL is more clinically meaningful for assessing cardiovascular risk.
Often called 'bad' cholesterol, LDL deposits cholesterol in artery walls, contributing to plaque buildup and atherosclerosis. LDL is the primary target for cardiovascular risk reduction through diet, exercise, and medication.
Considered 'bad' cholesterol; contributes to plaque buildup in arteries.
Often called 'good' cholesterol, HDL carries cholesterol away from arteries back to the liver for removal. Higher HDL levels are protective against heart disease. Exercise, healthy fats, and moderate alcohol intake can raise HDL.
The most common type of fat in the body, stored for energy. Elevated triglycerides — often from excess sugar, alcohol, or calories — increase cardiovascular risk and can cause pancreatitis at very high levels.
Non-HDL cholesterol is the total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol, representing all "bad" cholesterols. High levels can increase the risk of heart disease.

Largest, least dense LDL subtype; less atherogenic than smaller LDLs.
Second largest, second least dense LDL subtype; less atherogenic than smaller LDLs.
Small, dense LDL; highly atherogenic, associated with increased coronary artery disease risk.
Small, dense LDL; highly atherogenic, associated with increased coronary artery disease risk.
Small, dense LDL; highly atherogenic, associated with increased coronary artery disease risk.
Small, dense LDL; highly atherogenic, associated with increased coronary artery disease risk.
Smallest, densest LDL subtype; highest atherogenicity.
Low values indicate small, atherogenic LDL particles.
