Are you concerned about having high cholesterol?
Cardiovascular disease is the single biggest killer globally, with 32% of all deaths every year attributed to this preventable disease. The key blood test to assess your cardiovascular risk is a 5 marker lipid panel, which is which what the PocDoc Lipid Test provides.
The PocDoc Lipid test is a quantitative lateral flow test that tests for the following biomarkers via the PocDoc app, alongside providing a cardiovascular health questionnaire:
- High density lipoprotein (HDL)
- Non-HDL
- Triglycerides
- Total cholesterol
- Total cholesterol : HDL ration
