Test Name: LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

About:
The LDL test measures the level of “bad” cholesterol in your blood. High LDL leads to cholesterol buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Test Overview:
LDL is the main carrier of cholesterol in the blood. Higher levels cause plaque formation in blood vessels, making this test crucial for cardiac risk assessment.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No (fasting recommended only if part of full lipid profile)

Test Name: HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

About:
The HDL test measures the level of “good” cholesterol in your blood. HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries and transports it to the liver for processing, reducing the risk of heart disease.

Test Overview:
Higher HDL levels are generally protective against cardiovascular diseases. This test is usually a part of a lipid profile to assess overall heart health.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No (fasting recommended only if taken with full lipid panel)

Test Name: Bilirubin Direct

About:
The Bilirubin Direct test measures the level of direct (conjugated) bilirubin in the blood. This form of bilirubin is processed by the liver and is water-soluble. Elevated levels usually point toward liver or bile duct-related problems.

Test Overview:
Direct bilirubin helps identify whether jaundice or elevated bilirubin is due to issues in liver processing or bile flow obstruction. It is often tested along with Total and Indirect Bilirubin.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No

SAMPLE TYPE: Blood  GENDER: Both  AGE GROUP: All ages

Test Name: Bilirubin Total

About:
The Bilirubin Total test measures the total amount of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells and is processed by the liver. Elevated levels indicate liver, bile duct, or blood-related disorders.

Test Overview:
This test helps evaluate liver function, detect jaundice, and diagnose conditions affecting bilirubin metabolism. It includes both direct and indirect bilirubin values when done as a full liver panel.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No
