Advanced Lipid & Metabolic Profile
£139.00
Our Advanced Lipid & Metabolic Profile provides an in-depth assessment of cholesterol, lipoprotein and metabolic cardiovascular risk.
Alongside a standard lipid profile, the test measures important apolipoproteins including ApoB, ApoA-I, ApoCII, ApoCIII and ApoE, together with the ApoB:ApoA-I ratio, small LDL cholesterol. These markers provide considerably more detail about the number and type of cholesterol-carrying particles in the blood and can help identify cardiovascular risk that may not be apparent from a standard cholesterol test alone.
The profile also assesses metabolic health through glucose, HbA1c, insulin, C-peptide and additional markers including leptin, adiponectin and resistin, as well as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation associated with cardiovascular risk.
This test is particularly useful for people with raised cholesterol, a strong family history of cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes or pre-diabetes, or for anyone seeking a more comprehensive assessment of their cardiovascular and metabolic health.
It provides a detailed overview of lipid particle burden, inherited cardiovascular risk and metabolic health, helping to identify whether further specialist assessment or treatment may be appropriate.
