Empower your heart health journey with a snapshot of your cholesterol levels. Measure cholesterol (lipid) levels in your blood to help evaluate risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease, including heart attack or stroke. Use these results to kickstart a conversation with your healthcare provider on prevention strategies to manage your cardiovascular health before symptoms appear.

About The Test

▼

This lipid panel (or lipid profile) blood test measures your cholesterol and triglyceride levels to assess your risk for cardiovascular diseases. The lipid profile test works by measuring total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, cholesterol/HDL ratio, and non-HDL. Regular lipid panel testing plays a key role in maintaining both general and cardiovascular health. High levels of certain lipids—particularly LDL cholesterol and triglycerides—can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries. Over time, this may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Understanding your cholesterol levels can help you and your healthcare provider develop prevention strategies to manage cardiovascular risk before symptoms appear.

No doctor’s visit needed. Buy this cholesterol (lipid) panel blood test, visit a nearby Quest location, and get fast results.

Is This Test Right For Me?

▼

This test may be right for you if any of the following are true:

You have never checked your cholesterol levels or haven't checked them in several years
Want to track your heart health over time
You are on a specialty diet like keto, carnivore, or low carb which can impact lipid levels

You currently smoke or use tobacco, or have in the past

Quest offers multiple tiers of heart-related and cholesterol (lipid) testing depending on your needs:

Cholesterol (Lipid) Panel, this test, which measures total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, cholesterol/HDL ratio, and non-HDL cholesterol
High-Risk Heart Health Lipid and Lp(a) Test Panel, which is an extended lipid panel, measures total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, cholesterol/HDL ratio, non-HDL cholesterol as well as lipoprotein(a)
Advanced Heart Health Test Panel (with ApoB), which measures cholesterol, triglycerides, and hs-CRP levels as well as advanced biomarkers relevant to heart health

What's Tested

▼

Cholesterol is a waxy, fatty substance found in everyone’s blood and is needed to make cell membranes, some hormones, and vitamin D. Cholesterol comes from some animal-based foods, such as eggs, meat, and dairy. It is also produced by the liver. Too much cholesterol in the blood can clog blood vessels, reducing the flow of blood to the heart, brain, and other organs. This can increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious health conditions. This test can help give you a fuller picture of your heart health related to cholesterol levels.

It includes:

This measures the total amount of cholesterol found in your blood. This is the combination of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or “bad”) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good”) cholesterol. Too much cholesterol in your blood may damage arteries and blood vessels, which may increase the risk for a stroke, heart attack, and heart disease.

Triglycerides are fats that are formed from foods such as oils, dairy, and red meat. These fats get converted into triglycerides and are stored away in fat cells to be used when needed. High levels of triglycerides can lead to hardening and thickening of the arteries.

HDL, which is often called "good" cholesterol, picks up extra cholesterol that is circulating in the blood, using apolipoprotein A, and takes it back to your liver so it can be removed from your body.

LDL, often called "bad" cholesterol, transports cholesterol throughout your body to the cells that need it. Too much LDL can make cholesterol build up in your arteries, making them narrow and stiff, or blocking them, which makes it more difficult for blood to flow.

Cholesterol/HDL ratio is the ratio of HDL to your total cholesterol. A higher ratio means that you don’t have enough HDL for the amount of LDL, and that can lead to cardiovascular disease.

Non-HDL cholesterol measures the combined amount of cholesterol in the blood that is not HDL cholesterol. High levels of non-HDL cholesterol may increase the risk of atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries).

Signs & Symptoms

▼

High cholesterol may not have signs and symptoms. However, in many cases high cholesterol can increase the risk for a heart attack or stroke. A blood test is the only way to know for sure if you have high cholesterol.
