PocDoc How it works

Why Check Your Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a fatty substance in your blood that plays a vital role in your body’s functioning, but having too much of it can increase your risk of serious health problems, like heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues. Regular cholesterol checks are important because high cholesterol often has no symptoms. By knowing your cholesterol levels, you can take proactive steps to maintain a healthy heart and overall well-being.

The PocDoc service offers a comprehensive cholesterol test that measures five key markers:

  • Total Cholesterol: The overall amount of cholesterol in your blood.
  • HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): Often referred to as “good” cholesterol, which helps remove bad cholesterol from your arteries.
  • Non-HDL or LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): Known as “bad” cholesterol, which can build up in the walls of your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease.
  • Triglycerides: A type of fat found in your blood that, in high levels, can increase your risk of heart disease.
    Total Cholesterol/HDL
  • Ratio: A ratio that helps determine your risk of developing heart disease.
