Everlywell Cholesterol & Lipids Test - 1 Test Kit

We currently do not offer tests to residents of NY due to their state regulations around at home testing. This cholesterol & lipids at-home lab test is similar to a standard lipid panel. Biomarkers measured include total cholesterol, calculated LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. This cholesterol test is for anyone who is monitoring their cholesterol or who is interested in learning about their current levels. It’s a convenient cholesterol screening that gives you easy-to-understand results for 3 key measures of cholesterol, as well as triglycerides.

● This test measures your total cholesterol, HDL, calculated LDL, and triglyceride levels. ● Your cholesterol blood test results will show your levels of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides. ● Knowing your numbers and taking steps to optimize your cholesterol and lipid levels is a great way to help reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease. ● Total Cholesterol: Cholesterol is necessary to make the cells in our body. ● We get cholesterol from two sources—our liver makes cholesterol, and we can also get it from eating foods from animals. ● Total cholesterol is the total pool of cholesterol in the body, which includes biomarkers explicitly measured like LDL, HDL and triglycerides as well as other smaller lipid molecules. ● Calculated LDL: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is generally considered the "bad cholesterol" as high blood concentrations of this form of cholesterol can result in a lipid disorder, increasing the risk of heart disease. LDL cholesterol can deposit in arteries and lead to a condition known as atherosclerosis. LDL can be calculated mathematically using triglycerides and total cholesterol values or measured directly—this test measures calculated LDL; however, the LDL value will not be able to be calculated if the total triglyceride concentration is greater than 400 mg/dL. ● HDL: HDL, high-density lipoprotein, is considered the "good cholesterol" because it is able to carry cholesterol deposits away from arteries and back to the liver where it can be broken down and cleared from the body. ● Triglycerides: Triglycerides are the primary form of fat in the blood. Excessive levels of triglycerides may lead to damage to organs such as the liver and pancreas and may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. ● CLIA Certified Labs: Each lab we work with is CLIA-certified (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments). This means they have to meet high standards to obtain both state and federal certifications and submit themselves to regular inspections. ● Physician Reviewed Results: Everlywell tests are reviewed by an independent board-certified physician within your state. ● Secure Data: Everlywell is HIPAA-compliant and takes your privacy very seriously. We use state-of-the-art, bank-grade encryption to ensure your data is stored securely, and under no circumstance do we ever sell your data.
