Lipid Profile - Metabolic Risk Screening

Comprehensive Cholesterol & Cardiovascular Health Assessment


Unhealthy blood lipid levels often develop quietly without noticeable symptoms. Yet, abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels are major contributing factors to heart disease, fatty liver disease, and stroke.
Our Lipid Profile Screening Package (HK$ 480) offers a targeted, evidence-based blood test panel designed to measure your full lipid spectrum. Beyond simply measuring total cholesterol, this test provides key insights into your overall cardiovascular and metabolic health—helping you and your doctor take proactive steps toward prevention.
What Does the Lipid Profile Test Include?
A comprehensive evaluation requires analyzing multiple blood lipid components together. Your test panel includes:
1. Total Cholesterol
Measures the cumulative amount of cholesterol circulating in your bloodstream.
2. Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C)
Commonly known as "Bad Cholesterol"Elevated LDL-C contributes to plaque accumulation in artery walls (atherosclerosis), narrowing blood vessels and significantly increasing the long-term risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
3. High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C)
Commonly known as "Good Cholesterol"HDL-C acts as a biological scavenger, helping transport excess cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver for processing and elimination.
4. Triglycerides
A major type of fat (lipid) in your blood. Elevated triglyceride levels are often influenced by diet, weight, alcohol consumption, high blood sugar, and fatty liver disease, and are closely linked to cardiovascular risk.
5. Cholesterol Ratios
Calculated ratios (such as Total Cholesterol-to-HDL ratio) that provide a clearer, more nuanced picture of your overall cardiovascular risk when interpreted alongside individual marker results.

 Clinical Insight: A complete cardiovascular risk assessment goes beyond total cholesterol alone. Our clinicians evaluate your full lipid profile in conjunction with blood pressure, blood glucose, daily habits, and family history to provide tailored medical advice.

Who Should Get Screened?
Routine lipid screening is recommended for adults, particularly those with one or more of the following risk factors:
 
 
Family History: A close relative with heart disease, high cholesterol, or stroke
 
 
Weight & Body Composition: Individuals who are overweight or experience abdominal/central obesity
 
 
Lifestyle Factors: Sedentary lifestyle, infrequent physical activity, or diets high in saturated/trans fats
 
 
Co-existing Health Conditions: High blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, or metabolic syndrome
 
 
Previous High Readings: Individuals who have previously been noted to have elevated cholesterol or triglycerides
 
 
Proactive Health Monitoring: Anyone seeking a comprehensive baseline assessment of their heart and vascular health
