Cholesterol (7 Biomarkers): High cholesterol levels can lead to blocked arteries, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack, or stroke. Detecting high cholesterol levels allows you to make positive lifestyle and dietary changes, improving your chances of a long and healthy life.

The following are the biomarkers measured for cholesterol:

1. Total Cholesterol: Total Cholesterol measures the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols. Cholesterol plays a crucial role in hormone production for development, growth, and reproduction.
2. High Density Lipoprotein (HDL): HDL is considered “good” cholesterol as it helps remove cholesterol from the arteries of the heart.
3. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL): LDL is known as “bad” cholesterol because it contributes to cholesterol buildup and artery blockage.
4. Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio: This ratio indicates the proportion of total cholesterol to “good” (HDL) cholesterol in your blood, calculated mathematically.
5. Non-HDL Cholesterol: Non-HDL Cholesterol measures the total cholesterol in your blood, excluding the “good” HDL cholesterol.
6. Triglyceride: Triglyceride is a type of fat (distinct from cholesterol) found in the bloodstream.
7. HDL Percentage: This percentage represents the amount of “good” (HDL) cholesterol in relation to the total cholesterol.
