This test is a self-collected
laboratory analysis that measures the amount of total
cholesterol, the amount of HDL cholesterol, and the
triglyceride level in your blood; and then accurately
computes your LDL cholesterol value. This is the most
comprehensive form of cholesterol testing available.

Overview:
Cholesterol and
Heart Disease
|
| |
Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance
found among the fats (lipids) in the bloodstream and in all the cells of
your body. Cholesterol is important for your good health because it helps
form cell membranes, some hormones, and other types of tissues. A high
level of cholesterol in your blood, however, poses a major risk for
coronary heart disease, which can lead to heart attack.
Cholesterol and other fats can’t dissolve in blood. They have to be
carried into and out of the cells by special carriers of lipids and
proteins called lipoproteins. The two major lipoproteins, and the ones to
be most concerned about, are high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and
low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
HDL is often called "good cholesterol"
because it’s thought to actually remove excess cholesterol from
atherosclerotic plaques.
LDL is often referred to as "bad cholesterol"
because it can slowly build up within the walls of the arteries.
Cholesterol has only two sources: It is either produced in the body
(primarily by the liver) or found in foods that come from animals (meats,
dairy products, poultry, fish and seafood). Foods from plants (fruits,
vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds) do not contain cholesterol.
High cholesterol is the most publicized risk factor for heart disease.
Its fame is well deserved since high cholesterol
levels increase the risk of heart attack by 2.4 times.

How it Works:
The Testing Procedure
|
| |
The BIOSAFE Cholesterol
Panel blood test is a laboratory procedure that
measures the amount of total cholesterol in your blood,
the amount of HDL cholesterol, your triglyceride level,
and then accurately computes your LDL cholesterol value.
This is the most comprehensive form of cholesterol testing
available. Comparing the results of your initial
Cholesterol Panel test to the results of subsequent tests
can determine the progress you’ve made in reducing your
overall coronary risk.
The specimen collection process is quick, easy and
virtually painless. Using the special lancet (included in
the BIOSAFE Blood Collection Kit), a couple of drops of
blood are taken from a nick of a finger and deposited onto
a special collection card. The card is then sent to
BIOSAFE Laboratories for analysis. BIOSAFE tests your
blood sample to see how much total cholesterol, HDL, LDL,
and triglycerides are present and then mails the results
back to you in an easy-to-read, understandable report.
Since the BIOSAFE Cholesterol Panel test produces a
numerical result rather than a simple "yes" or "no"
answer, both testing approval and professional review of
test results are required by a licensed physician. BIOSAFE
has developed a nationwide network of medical doctors for
this purpose.
You may order a BIOSAFE Cholesterol Panel test by
clicking on the button below. When your order is approved,
your Blood Collection Kit will be sent to you by first
class mail.
After your test analysis is completed by BIOSAFE
Laboratories, the results will be reviewed by a licensed
physician before being sent back to you.
Knowing your total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride
levels is an important first step in determining your risk
for heart disease. Remember, just because you don’t
currently exhibit any signs of heart disease, doesn’t mean
you won’t develop them. Now is the best time for
prevention. Otherwise, a high blood cholesterol level, as
well as other risk factors, can lead to possible serious
problems in the future.
High blood cholesterol is one of
the major risk factors for coronary heart disease that you
can modify. Don’t delay finding out if you’re
at risk -- Your life is too important! |
