Who it's for

A simple, important check on your heart health

Raised cholesterol usually has no symptoms, yet it is one of the most modifiable drivers of heart disease. A lipid profile is a sensible first step if you recognise any of these.

Family history of heart disease

A parent or sibling with early heart disease or high cholesterol means yours is worth checking.

On — or considering — a statin

Track how your cholesterol responds to lipid-lowering medication or lifestyle change.

Over 40 and never tested

Cholesterol tends to creep up with age — a baseline reading is reassuring and useful.

Making lifestyle changes

Measure the impact of changes to diet, exercise, weight and alcohol on your lipids.

Insurance or pre-employment screen

A clear, clinician-reviewed lipid report for medicals and health screening.

Want reassurance

A thorough check and a clinician's read on what your numbers mean.

What we check

5 lipid markers in a single blood draw

Rather than a single cholesterol number, this panel measures the lipid fractions that together build a complete cardiovascular risk picture.

Total cholesterol

Your overall cholesterol level — the headline figure used alongside the other fractions to assess risk.

1 marker

HDL cholesterol

The protective 'good' cholesterol that helps clear cholesterol from your arteries.

1 marker

LDL cholesterol

The 'bad' cholesterol that is the principal driver of fatty plaque in the arteries.

1 marker

Triglycerides

A blood fat linked to cardiovascular risk and, when very high, to pancreatitis.

1 marker

Cholesterol ratio

The total cholesterol to HDL ratio, used in validated cardiovascular risk tools.

1 marker

Risk picture

Together these allow non-HDL cholesterol and ratio to be calculated for QRISK-style assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Do I need to fast before a lipid profile?
We may ask you to avoid food for several hours beforehand, as fasting can affect triglyceride readings in particular. Our team will confirm any preparation when you book.
How long do results take?
We process your sample promptly and contact you as soon as your clinician-reviewed results are ready — turnaround varies by test. Every result is reviewed by a clinician, who flags anything outside the normal range with a clear explanation and guidance on sensible next steps.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by calling 0121 387 3727. Same-week appointments are available 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm.
What happens if a result comes back abnormal?
A clinician reviews every panel before it is released. If something is outside the normal range, we explain what it means in plain English and recommend sensible next steps — which may include a GP appointment, a repeat test, or onward referral. This test is a screening investigation and is not a substitute for a clinical diagnosis.
Can I claim this on private health insurance?
Self-funded blood tests are usually paid for directly rather than through insurance, as most insurers require a referral first. If you would like to use insurance, call us on 0121 387 3727 and our team will advise on the best route for your policy.

Understanding your Lipids Tchdlldltrigs results

Each result in your Lipids Tchdlldltrigs is reviewed by a clinician before release. Below is a plain-English guide to the key markers included in this panel.

Key Biomarkers

This panel assesses the key markers relevant to lipids tchdlldltrigs. Each result is reviewed by a clinician who will flag any values outside the expected range for your age and sex.

Reference Ranges

Reference intervals are population-derived and should be interpreted alongside your symptoms and clinical history — a result within range does not always exclude pathology, and a mildly out-of-range result may be clinically insignificant in isolation.

Reference ranges vary between laboratories and are influenced by age, sex, and other individual factors. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace a clinical consultation. The Vesey reviews every result before it is released to you.
