What is the Same Day Cholesterol Blood Test Profile?
Also known as a Lipid profile, it is an exam measuring the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. This exam is conducted as a part of a cardiovascular risk assessment or cardiovascular monitoring in cases of Pancreatitis or in cases of monitoring response to treatments.
Who is affected by cardiovascular disease?
You are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease if you have:
- Diabetes/pre-diabetics, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Underactive thyroid gland.
- Family history of high cholesterol or heart disease.
- Suffer from obesity.
- Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol.
- Have high blood pressure.
5 BioMarkers:
- Total: the total amount present in the blood.
- LDL: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is known as “bad” cholesterol. High LDL levels raise your risk of stroke, heart attack and atherosclerosis.
- HDL: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as “good” cholesterol as it helps eliminate LDL from the blood.
- Triglycerides: Triglycerides are the body’s form of fat storage, most of which are found in fatty tissues and circulating in the blood to fuel muscles to work.
- Total cholesterol/ HDL cholesterol: the ratio of cholesterol/ HDL is used to measure cardiovascular risk.
How does it work?
Please make your appointment online and visit us on-site to have your blood drawn by one of our Clinicians. Please note that you must present your ID for your appointment.
Book an Appointment or walk-in same day.
Perform the sample with our staff and hand to the Laboratory Scientists for processing.
Lastly, once your results are ready, we will send you an email with your Result. Also you can view the report in your Dashboard.
How long do the results take?
The target turnaround time for the Same Day Cholesterol blood test results is 1 working day. However, please note that the turnaround time is a guide only and will sometimes depend upon assay run schedules.
Missed appointments or cancellations less than 24 hours prior are not entitled to refunds. Rescheduling is possible but not guaranteed. Please get in touch with customer service before the appointment time to discuss cost and availability options. Please note that we do not draw blood from children under 16 years old.
Cholesterol Profile
Scientific Information Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier
Testing Technology Method:
Fully automatic biochemistry analyser
Limit of Detection:
- Total Cholesterol: 1.29 mmol/L
- HDL: 1 U/L
- LDL: 10 U/L
- Triglycerides: 10 U/L
- Total cholesterol/HDL: N/A (Calculated)
Accuracy and Precision:
- Total Cholesterol: The approximate error is ≤ ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
- HDL: The approximate error is ≤ ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 4%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 6%.
- LDL: The approximate error is ≤ ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 10%.
- Triglycerides: The approximate error is ≤ ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 4%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 6%.
- Total cholesterol/HDL: N/A (Calculated)
Measuring Ranges:
- Total Cholesterol: 1.29~12.93 mmol/L
- HDL: 1.00~2.50 mmol/L
- LDL: 0.3~10.34 mmol/L
- Triglycerides: 0.3~11.29 mmol/L
- Total cholesterol/HDL: N/A (Calculated)
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy and Precision:
The accuracy relies on the approximate error percentage. This percentage is the percentage deviation from the actual result. The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the Same Day Cholesterol Blood test was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
Total Cholesterol: Less than 5.2 mmol/L
HDL:
- Females: 1.29~2.07 mmol/L
- Males: 1.16~2.07 mmol/L
LDL: Less than 3.12 mmol/L
Triglycerides: Less than 1.7 mmol/L (< 150 mg/dL)
Total cholesterol/HDL: Less than 6.00 mmol/L
