Introduction
The cholesterol test cost in India starts at INR 495 and goes up to INR 1074. The lipid profile test cost in India depends entirely on the laboratories chosen for this test and the geographic location.
A complete cholesterol test is a blood test that measures the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. There are two main types of cholesterol in the body - high-density cholesterol (HDL) or ‘good’ cholesterol, and low-density cholesterol (LDL) or ‘bad’ cholesterol.
Although a certain level of cholesterol in the body is essential, too much cholesterol can raise your risk of heart disease, stroke, and clogging or hardening of arteries. Hence, you should do a cholesterol test at a fixed interval to eliminate your heart disease risk.
