Heart health and cholesterol monitoring

A total cholesterol test measures the amount of good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol together, and gives a single result for the combined level. Your doctor can provide you with a wider range of tests giving you more detail of your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Always speak with your doctor if you are concerned about your symptoms

Let's make self-testing better

Our tests are based on the same principles used by hospital labs, and provide reliable, meaningful results, but self-testing is not meant to replace established NHS healthcare pathways. Always consider what a positive or negative result will mean to you before testing, and be aware of the limitations of the test you are using.
