Cholesterol

Cholesterol rarely announces itself, yet it is one of the most modifiable influences on long-term heart health. This lipid profile measures the full set: total cholesterol, the good HDL and less welcome LDL fractions, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and the cholesterol-to-HDL ratio, the balance that often tells the most useful story about where you stand.

Your sample is a simple venous draw taken in our private Leigh-on-Sea clinic and analysed by an accredited UK laboratory. Within 5–7 working days you receive a doctor-reviewed report that explains your numbers rather than merely listing them: what sits within range, what does not, and how diet, exercise and other everyday factors might shift the picture over the months ahead.

It is an easy, informative check if you are keeping a general eye on things, have a family history of raised cholesterol, or want a baseline before making changes. If your results suggest a broader look is worthwhile, the Cardiac Risk panel adds inflammation and blood sugar markers. Any concerns are worth talking through with your GP, who can view them in the round.
