DR. ADAM STATEN - GP VIEW AND RED FLAG SYMPTOMS
From a GP’s perspective, the LDL blood test is a key part of assessing your risk of developing heart disease or stroke.
It tells us how much low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is circulating in your blood, the type most likely to cause fatty build-up in your arteries.
High LDL levels often don’t cause symptoms, so the only way to detect and manage this risk is through regular testing, particularly if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart problems.

Your Results and Health Dashboard
The results of your Low density lipoprotein (LDL) Blood Test will be emailed to you as a secured PDF file, ready for your GP and will also be uploaded to our Health Dashboard area of the website. It’s a unique and powerful tool, powered by our in-house clinical analysis research, to match your biomarkers across test panels and symptoms, as well as provide clinical commentary on all individual biomarkers you tested for.
The health dashboard will also provide "panel level" commentary - a birds eye view of the biomarkers that were tested. This feature allows you to view your test results and clinical commentary, and compare them to previous results, giving you a clear understanding of how your health is progressing.
By using the Health Dashboard, you can identify changes in your biomarkers and make necessary adjustments to your lifestyle. This added value is immense, as it empowers you to monitor your health and make informed decisions about your well-being.
It's free and is available with all of our tests.
