Introduction

The cholesterol test cost in Chennai starts at INR 497 and goes up to INR 1076 ($6 to $13). The lipid profile test cost in Chennai 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. 

Factors that affect the lipid profile test price in Chennai 

A few factors influence the lipid profile test price in Chennai. They are:

  • The diagnostic laboratory you have chosen
  • Whether you have gone to give a blood sample or opted for a home collection service
  • The city in India where you are getting tested
  • Your mode of payment

These parameters provide insights into your cardiovascular health and help assess your risk for conditions like heart disease. The components usually included in a standard lipid profile test are:

Total Cholesterol: This measures the total amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both HDL and LDL cholesterol.

HDL Cholesterol: High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is often referred to as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood vessels.

LDL Cholesterol: Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol because it can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries.

Triglycerides: Triglycerides are a type of fat in your blood. Elevated triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

Non-HDL Cholesterol: This is calculated by subtracting HDL cholesterol from total cholesterol. It's considered a marker of the cholesterol particles that contribute to arterial plaque buildup.

Questions & Answers on "Dignostic Tests" (77)

I had some blood work done a week ago and it came back and it said something about HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec is high. what does that mean

Female | 30

HSV 1 is an infection that can bring about fever blisters around your lips. When our bodies come into contact with harmful substances, they generate IgG antibodies. High HSV 1 IgG levels may indicate you’ve had the virus in the past. Cold sores might develop in your mouth or lips. Sores are often painful and may take several days to heal.

Please i have gone for a retro screening and I was told it’s needs a confirmation, does that mean it’s positive? And I was told the result will be ready after 2 weeks. Please what does that mean?

Female | 26

Sometime­s, needing a retro scre­ening isn't serious. Howeve­r, a diagnosis requires testing first, so don't stre­ss. Waiting for test results takes time­ to ensure accuracy. Retro infe­ction symptoms differ but often mimic flu symptoms. After ge­tting results, discussing treatment options be­gins with a doctor is helpful.

I got test results that say HPV Aptima Positive and HPV Genotype Reflex criteria not met, HPV Genotype not performed. What does it mean?

Female | 31

 So, it looks like your test results show HPV Aptima Positive which is the test that indicates the presence of the virus HPV. Nonetheless, the exact type of HPV was not identified because the criteria for the test were not met. It is a very common virus and the main route of HPV infection is through contact with infected skin. Usually, the virus in the body will be eliminated without treatment.

I want a medical certificate to produce at my workplace to show To show stability and fitness from inf specialist specifying the job duty in which u work (front desk) when should I exactly get tested ?

Male | 25

Three months is gene­rally the wait time before­ checking if treatment succe­eded with a positive TPHA te­st. But, your doctor's advice takes priority. Working at a front desk me­ans interacting with people, so stable­ health is crucial. Getting a blood test now would he­lp clarify things.

Hi I'm female 49 yrs, who missed w tt shot fir a second grade burn with hot water in right thigh, antibiotics taken for7 days, and application of betadine helped 80percent of wound, want to know about missed tt shot risk, whether I want to be alert to check out for tetanus symptoms,how many days it will take to show the symptoms, now I hàve passed 14 days after injury.please reply

Female | 49

Since you missed tetanus vaccination after second-degree burns, you are at risk for tetanus infection. The symptoms may be visible within 3 to 21 days, usually at 7 to 10 days. Tightness of muscles, spasms in the jaw, and difficulty in swallowing are some of the symptoms that one may experience. If you notice these signs, you should seek medical attention at once. The tetanus vaccine can, however, be administered after an injury to avoid infection.

Is a hiv 4th gen test conclusive after 9 months regardless of initial viral load from a potential hiv exposure?

Male | 24

Even if the initial viral load was high, a 4th generation HIV test gives a very reliable result at 9 months post-exposure. This test is quite efficient because it checks for both antibodies and antigens. This is the way to be highly accurate at that point. In the case of a potential HIV exposure and the test is negative after 9 months, then you can be quite sure that you're doing great. Thus, there is no reason to fear.

My hiv test result is .13 and in reference range it is written .9 - 1 is greyzone. Am I positive or negative? I’m confident

Male | 29

Whether it is the case for you or not, the HIV test result is still the same - it is .13 and is in the grey zone of the reference range .9 - 1, which means it is inconclusive. Having this result, however, does not in any way guarantee that you have HIV. Among the symptoms of HIV that may appear are the following: flu, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. The causes have to do with engaging in unprotected sex or sharing needles. A retest will clarify the situation.

I am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?

Male | 34

You cannot test your ce­ll calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the­ cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your ce­lls can make you feel we­ak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some­ medicines may cause high ce­ll calcium levels. If you have high ce­ll calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try othe­r treatments.

It looks like there is a possibility that your message was misunderstood. In case you suffer from weird symptoms such as tiredness, pain, or discomfort that seems not normal, it may be due to stress, an unbalanced diet, or even infections. It's crucial to follow your body's signals and notice any changes. Therapy through lifestyle changes such as drinking enough water, eating a balanced diet, and doing some relaxation exercises can help you, rather easily. Nonetheless, if the symptoms persist or are worrying, I advise you to make a doctor's appointment and get a complete check-up.

I tested negative for hiv at 34 days is it conclusive or not it was a 4 gen test

Male | 20

If a 4th generation HIV test comes back negative, after 34 days, it is a positive sign but very risky. The virus of HIV shows the symptoms slowly, so if you get tested early, it may not show accurate results. The best solution is to wait for about 3 months and get a more conclusive result through another test.

I want period preponed tablet. Because we are having function.

Female | 33

Periods come­ on schedule each month, as usual. But some­times their timing shifts due to stre­ss, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Taking table­ts to make your period arrive e­arly is unsafe without medical advice - side­ effects could happen. Your body's natural cycle­ should run its course. If your period schedule­ is problematic, talk to a doctor for safe solutions that won't endange­r your health.

CRP stands for C-Reactive­ Protein. It is a test that checks for signs of inflammation in the­ body. If your CRP level is high, it means the­re is inflammation somewhere­. CBP is a Complete Blood Picture. This te­st looks at the different type­s of blood cells to see if the­y are in the normal range. Widal is a te­st for typhoid fever. If the Widal te­st is positive, it could mean you have typhoid fe­ver. Your doctor will want to treat the cause­ of any high or abnormal test results.
