What DL8L Well Person Profile plus HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol and Non-HDL Cholesterol measures
The catalogue tags the DL8L Well Person Profile plus HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol and Non-HDL Cholesterol with lipid profile, cholesterol test and heart health. Those terms describe the territory the test covers; the notes below explain what a cholesterol and lipids result can and cannot tell you.
A lipid profile measures total cholesterol, HDL (often called protective cholesterol), LDL and non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Extended lipid tests add apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein(a) — a largely inherited particle — and LDL subfraction analysis, which describe particle number and type rather than just the amount of cholesterol carried. These figures feed into cardiovascular risk calculations rather than standing alone.
Preparing for your DL8L Well Person Profile plus HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol and Non-HDL Cholesterol
- 1Fasting for 10 to 12 hours with water only is traditional and still recommended if triglycerides or apolipoprotein E are being measured.
- 2Keep to your usual diet in the fortnight before rather than making a special effort, so the result reflects real life.
- 3Avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand, as it can raise triglycerides sharply.
Sample for this test: venous blood sample (serum, EDTA and fluoride oxalate).
Who considers DL8L Well Person Profile plus HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol and Non-HDL Cholesterol
- People often consider a lipid profile if a parent or sibling had a heart attack or stroke before 60.
- Anyone over 40 who has not had cholesterol measured recently commonly wants a baseline.
- Those who have started a statin, changed their diet or taken up exercise may check whether the numbers have moved.
- Fatty deposits around the eyelids or on tendons can prompt a look for inherited high cholesterol.
- It is part of nearly every cardiovascular and general health screen.
Understanding your DL8L Well Person Profile plus HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol and Non-HDL Cholesterol results
Higher LDL, non-HDL and apolipoprotein B values can indicate greater deposition of cholesterol in artery walls over time, while a higher HDL is generally seen as favourable. Triglycerides respond quickly to alcohol, sugar and recent meals, so an isolated high value is often repeated fasting. Lipoprotein(a) is largely fixed by genetics and is measured once; a raised level may adjust how aggressively other risk factors are managed.
Cholesterol numbers are interpreted within an overall risk estimate that includes blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and age, not against a single cut-off.
