Blood cholesterol test
Looking for convenient private blood testing? At the Viva Pharmacy and Clinic, we provide everything from routine blood tests to highly complex and specialised analyses. We offer thousands of the latest pathology testing solutions across various disciplines, including biochemistry, immunology, hematology, sexual health, complete nutritional profiles, functional blood chemistry, and more.
Cholesterol levels are a common test we conduct. Cholesterol is a fatty substance primarily produced by the liver from the fats in your diet, and it is essential for normal bodily functions.
High cholesterol levels can increase the risk of serious issues like heart attacks and strokes.
A simple blood test can measure blood cholesterol levels. Sometimes, you may be asked to fast for 12 hours before the test (usually overnight) to ensure all food is fully digested and does not affect the results, though this is not always required.
