Test Conditions for Identifying Health Markers

Cholesterol (7 Biomarkers) Elevated cholesterol levels can lead to blocked arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke. Identifying high cholesterol levels enables you to make positive lifestyle and dietary changes for a healthier life.

a. Total Cholesterol: Total Cholesterol measures the overall amount of cholesterol in the blood, including low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols. Cholesterol is essential for hormone production and various bodily functions.

b. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL): HDL is a type of cholesterol known as “good” cholesterol because it aids in the removal of cholesterol from the arteries of the heart.

c. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL): LDL is considered “bad” cholesterol as it contributes to the buildup of cholesterol and arterial blockage.

d. Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio This ratio calculates the proportion of total cholesterol to the “good” HDL cholesterol in the bloodstream.

e. Non-HDL Cholesterol: Non-HDL Cholesterol measures the total cholesterol in the blood, excluding the “good” HDL cholesterol.

f. Triglyceride: Triglycerides are a type of fat (distinct from cholesterol) present in the bloodstream.

g. HDL Percentage: This percentage represents the portion of total cholesterol that consists of “good” HDL cholesterol.
