Frequently Asked Questions
Should I fast before a cholesterol test?
Yes, fasting for 9 to 12 hours beforehand gives the most accurate reading.
Is total cholesterol enough, or do I need a full Lipid Profile?
Your doctor will often prefer the full Lipid Profile, since it breaks cholesterol down into LDL, HDL and triglycerides for a fuller risk picture.
What is considered a healthy total cholesterol level?
Generally under 200 mg/dL is considered desirable, though your doctor will factor in your overall heart disease risk.
How soon will my report be ready?
Same day.
Can lifestyle changes lower cholesterol?
Yes, diet, exercise and quitting smoking can meaningfully improve cholesterol levels over time.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, across Gujranwala, Sialkot and Daska, ideal for an early morning fasting sample.
