Free Cholesterol Test - Promo expired 2-28-2019

• Lipid Panel —

  Cholesterol test for LDL, HDL, Total and Triglycerides. (aka Lipid Profile).

What's it used for?

The lipid panel is used to:

• Help assess the risk of developing heart disease
• Monitor existing conditions and measure the effectiveness of certain treatments.

This panel includes:

• Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol – LDL is called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the walls of arteries, reducing blood flow. A high level of LDL is a risk factor for heart disease.
• Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol – VLDL carries triglycerides in the body and is then converted to LDL. Elevated VLDL is a risk factor for heart disease.
• High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol – HDL is called “good” cholesterol because it helps remove excess LDL cholesterol. A high level of HDL lowers risk for heart disease.
• Total cholesterol – Total cholesterol is the total of all cholesterol components, including LDL, VLDL, and HDL. A high level of total cholesterol increases risk for heart disease.
• Triglycerides – Triglycerides are primarily made up of stored fat from food sources. A high triglyceride level is a risk factor for heart disease.
