Cholesterol Test

What is a Cholesterol Test?

A cholesterol test is a type of blood test that will measure triglycerides and overall cholesterol, or lipid content, within the blood. Cholesterol tests can reveal any risks of heart attack, heart disease, or other cardiovascular complications that may be present. Individuals with elevated cholesterol levels may not display any other signs or symptoms, which makes screening even more important to help diagnose early and treat patients appropriately to maximize efficacy.

At Platinum Diagnostic Labs, we provide the technology to carry out testing on targets like:

  • Low-density lipoprotein
  • High-density lipoprotein
  • Fibrinogen
  • Lipid panels
  • Triglycerides
  • B-type natriuretic peptide

To carry out one or all of these blood tests, all that is needed is for a blood sample to be harvested. Blood draws can take place at a physician’s office and the sample can be transported to our laboratory by our courier service, or patients can come to our laboratory directly and have on-site blood drawn by our phlebotomists for processing. We are a fully equipped lab offering a myriad of blood tests, like that of cholesterol testing. Feel free to speak with a representative or stop by our convenient Linden, NJ location for more information on setting up a blood draw, arranging for sample collection or identifying which blood tests may be optimal for you!
