Cholesterol and HDL Test by Xtritica from £12.99

The total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol screening tests give an indication of the two types of cholesterol levels in the blood. Unlike a total cholesterol test, which just measures the overall cholesterol level, the BodyWatch kit also measures the amount of 'good' or HDL cholesterol. A small sample of blood is required from a finger stick.A decade ago cholesterol was an unfamiliar term outside of the medical profession. Today, most health-conscious people know that a high blood cholesterol level is unhealthy. If cells in the body are given more cholesterol than they can use, they have to get rid of the excess. The unused cholesterol can form deposits in the coronary arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart. This condition, known as arteriosclerosis, is the leading cause of coronary heart disease. Cholesterol and HDL Test

In testing cholesterol level's BodyWatch's test considers the relationship between 'good' (High density lipoprotein HDL) and 'bad' cholesterol (Low-density lipoprotein LDL). LDL is called 'bad' because it deposits cholesterol in the coronary arteries. HDL is deemed 'good' because it removes cholesterol from blood circulation, actually decreasing the risk. The ration of HDL to total cholesterol is very important, the ratio should be less than 4. This can be achieved by increasing the level of HDL or lowering the level of LDL.
