Check your LDL cholesterol levels with our Low Density Lipoprotein Blood Test.

Assess heart health and risk of cardiovascular diseases. Fast, accurate results with no GP referral needed. Measure the lipoprotein that transports cholesterol from the liver to the tissues of the body. A high LDL level leads to a build up of Cholesterol in the arteries. Most of the biomarkers we offer in the "ready made" panels are also available separately. So if your favourite test panel is missing a biomarker you would like to have, no problem, you can add whatever you need to one of our standard panels using the "Pick-n-mix" options, such as this one.
