Lipid Profile – Cholesterol Blood Test in London
The Lipid Profile (SP22) is a comprehensive cholesterol blood test designed to assess cardiovascular health and identify risk factors for heart disease. This profile measures total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol), triglycerides, and related lipid markers to provide a detailed overview of blood fat levels and cardiovascular risk. Ideal for routine health screening, heart disease prevention, and monitoring cholesterol management, this test helps support informed decisions about your long-term heart health. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 4 hours.
Lipid Profile
This profile (SP22) assesses the levels of different types of fats in your blood, which are important for heart and blood vessel health. Total cholesterol gives an overall measure, HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood, LDL can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, and triglycerides are a type of fat used for energy.

What Is Included?
This profile provides a comprehensive view of your circulating lipids, breaking down your blood fats into core structural components to accurately assess cardiovascular health.
Primary Cholesterol Markers
Evaluates the overall volume of cholesterol in your blood alongside the specific “good” and “bad” lipoproteins transporting it.
Identifying whether LDL levels are actively contributing to arterial plaque or if HDL is effectively clearing it.
Triglycerides & Extended Lipids
Assesses dietary fat reserves utilized for energy and calculates the total volume of all atherogenic (plaque-building) particles.
Monitoring metabolic health, dietary fat absorption, and the comprehensive load of potentially harmful lipids.
Cardiovascular Risk Analysis
Utilizes the ratio between your total cholesterol and your protective HDL to calculate an overall risk profile.
Providing a clear, calculated metric to evaluate overall heart disease risk based on your lipid balance.
Understanding Your Lipid Ratios
Total cholesterol gives an overall measure of fats in your blood, but the breakdown is what matters most. HDL (“good” cholesterol) helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood, protecting your arteries. Conversely, LDL (“bad” cholesterol) can contribute to plaque buildup. Your CHOL Risk Factor evaluates this balance to help predict your cardiovascular health trajectory.
How To Read Your Laboratory Results
Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out-of-range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.
Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within just 4 hours. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.
