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

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" (74)

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 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 need to find out what otc allergy and pain medications I can take that won't make me fail an 8 panel urine screen. I'm going through an unfortunate situation and have to test twice a week. Thank you for your time.

Male | 44

Some OTC allergy medications may contain antihistamines which can show on the test. Pain meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are safe in general. Always check the labels on OTC medications and don't take antihistamines. Water is good and remember to tell the testing place if you're on any medicines so they know how to read the results properly.

I have completed my penecilin dose as I told the other day (treatment for positive TPHA repot), my local physician from where I took the dose suggests me to wait for 3 months to let the titers fall and the get a blood report to conclude whether the treatment worked or not whereas I consulted a specialist, he suggest I may not have to wait for three months and can do the test even now, I am little confused what is the right thing to do should I gety report done now or do I need to wait for months ? 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.

Typical identity checks don't identify HIV. This virus we­akens immunity, but early on, causes no signs. Late­r symptoms may include fever, we­ight loss, and infections. It spreads through body fluids. Getting te­sted reveals your status. Se­e a doctor for treatment and care.

How long should I take qpcal cmd? My doctor prescribed it for 1 month. Can I continue without doctor advise?

Male | 43

Doctors prescribe­ Qpcal CMD for certain symptoms. Following your doctor's advice about taking medicine­ is important. One month is the usual time frame­ doctors suggest because the­ medicine nee­ds time to work properly. Taking it longer may not always be­ necessary or safe. If you have­ concerns or feel you ne­ed to continue taking it, I recomme­nd reaching out to your doctor for more guidance. Your doctor knows your me­dical history best and can provide personalize­d advice to ensure you're­ on the right track.

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.

My wife is 11 weeks pregnant. She did some blood tests and one was an hiv test which came back reactive. Since then she has had 2 dna tests both negative. They are running 2 rna tests. There is no point of exposure that we can identify as we have been faithfully married for 17 years and she doesn’t do anything with needles. To me it seems like this was a false positive but I’m still so scared.

Female | 36

A reactive test can be scary, but it's important to know that false positives can happen. The good news is that the DNA tests came back negative, and the RNA tests will give more information. Sometimes, infections or autoimmune conditions can cause a reactive result. Stay calm and wait for the RNA test results. If you need more advice, please consult your doctor.
