What is the Cholesterol Blood Test Walk-in Clinic?
Urea Blood Test Clinic Visit. It is an examination that quantifies the quantity of triglycerides and cholesterol in your bloodstream, and is also referred to as a lipid profile. This examination is administered as part of a cardiovascular risk assessment or cardiovascular monitoring in the context of pancreatitis or the surveillance of treatment response.
Why Get the Cardiovascular Profile?
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 level or heart disease.
- Suffer from obesity.
- Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol.
- Have high blood pressure.
5 Biomarkers:
- Total amount
- LDL: Low-density lipoprotein, also known as“Bad” cholesterol.
- HDL: High-density lipoprotein, also known as “good” cholesterol that removes LDL.
- Triglycerides: Fat storage
- Total cholesterol/HDL: Cardiovascular risk ratio.

What are the Common Cardiovascular Questions?
Q: Firstly, what is it?
A: It is a waxy substance found in the fats in your blood. Your liver produces about 75 per cent of your body; the rest is ingested as a dietary supply from the foods you eat.
Q: And what do high levels do to the body?
A: Excess in your body can build up as unwanted plaque along the inner walls of your arteries, narrowing the arteries and restricting blood flow.
Q: But how do you know if you have high levels?
A: High levels typically produce no signs or symptoms, so many people have no idea their level is too high. You can find out if you take a health check.
Q: Therefore, how often should I check my levels?
A: Starting at age 20, your levels should be checked every four to six years with the Same Day Cholesterol kit.
Q: Finally, what are foods to avoid if you have high levels?
A: To lower your levels, reduce the consumption of foods high in saturated and trans fats, such as red meat, butter and full-fat dairy products.
Scientific Info/Data for Cholesterol from Our Equipment and Material Suppliers
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
