Why Test Your Cholesterol?

High cholesterol is a leading cause of heart disease, the number one cause of death in the United States. The CDC estimates that nearly 40% of people in the United States have high cholesterol. This condition causes the arteries to narrow (known as atherosclerosis) and restricts blood flow, putting you at greater risk of heart attack or stroke. 

Though many lifestyle and dietary factors can contribute to high cholesterol, this condition can also run in families. If you have a close family member with high cholesterol, you are at greater risk of developing the condition. 

High cholesterol has no symptoms, the only way to know you have it is to test for it. Regular screening and early detection can catch warning signs before they cause serious, or even fatal, complications down the road. 

If you are already diagnosed with high cholesterol, you know how important it is to test regularly to ensure your medication, diet, and lifestyle changes are managing your condition. Our Cholesterol Test can help you screen more regularly, from the comfort of your own home. 

 

What is Heart Disease? 

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, killing 1 in 5 people. Every 34 seconds, someone in the US dies from cardiovascular disease. The saddest part of that is: 80% of heart disease cases are preventable. 

Regular screening and early detection can catch warning signs before they cause serious, or even fatal, complications down the road. High cholesterol is a leading cause of heart disease.

How it Works

Healthyr uses microsampling technology to offer health tests that can be done in the comfort of your home. There is no need to visit a medical professional or lab– you collect your sample yourself using a simple finger prick.
 
Each kit will provide everything you need, including a lancet for the finger prick and an ADX card to apply your sample. Unlike traditional testing, only a few drops of blood are required!
 
The ADX card separates the blood solids from the blood plasma and once dry, you mail your sample to our lab. No need to visit the post office, just drop it in your local mailbox.
 
Once your sample arrives at the lab, your results are uploaded to your secure, HIPAA-protected online portal within three days.
Note: if you’d like to learn more, detailed sample collection instructions can be found on the instructions page here.

Cholesterol

What is it and how does it affect me?

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that’s found in all the cells in your body. Your body needs some cholesterol to make hormones, vitamin D, and substances that help you digest foods. However, if you have too much cholesterol in your blood it can combine with other substances in the blood to form plaque. Plaque sticks to the walls of your arteries, which can develop into atherosclerosis and lead to cardiovascular disease.

High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL)

What is it and how does it affect me?

Often referred to as “good cholesterol” HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is a type of cholesterol that is associated with better cardiovascular health. HDL helps clear unhealthy cholesterol, like LDL, out of your body. Understanding your HDL levels can help a care provider evaluate your cardiovascular health.

Edit Content

Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL)

What is it and how does it affect me?

Often referred to as “bad cholesterol” LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is a form of cholesterol that may increase your risk of developing atherosclerosis, the most common cause of cardiovascular disease. Understanding your LDL levels can help a care provider evaluate your cardiovascular health.

Results

High cholesterol has no symptoms but can cause serious complications including heart disease and stroke. The condition can be reversed if caught early, but the only way to know you have it, is to test.

Who is This Test For?

You are over the age of 18.
The CDC recommends that every adult have their cholesterol checked every 4-6 years. If you have a condition such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure, you should be tested more regularly.
You have high blood pressure.
High blood pressure and high cholesterol are closely linked. The plaque from cholesterol can harden and narrow the arteries, making your heart work harder to pump blood through them and causing high blood pressure. High blood pressure damages the arteries and affects blood flow, causing heart disease and putting you at greater risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.
You have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes.
People with diabetes are more likely to have high cholesterol. Diabetes damages the arterial lining, making it easier for cholesterol to stick to them. This can cause narrowing or even blockage and lead to heart disease, stroke, or heart attack.
You have a family history of high cholesterol.
If you have a close relative such as a parent, sibling, or grandparent who has high cholesterol, you may be at greater risk of having it yourself. Checking your cholesterol more often can ensure you catch warning signs early.
You take medication for high blood pressure.
The Adult Treatment Panel guidelines (ATP III) recommends testing lipids every 4-6 months while taking a statin.

About Our Labs + Science

Accuracy + Reliability ​

Our tests use an accurate and reliable form of microsampling called Dried Blood Spot Testing.
This form of testing has been used since the 1960s in Neonatal care and for testing in remote locations. You may be familiar with the heel prick performed on newborns during their initial health assessment– this is Dried Blood Spot Testing. We use this same technology and have expanded it to accurately assess a wider range of diagnostic biomarkers to be able to provide reliable health assessment that is more convenient, accessible, and affordable.

Lab Safety + Sterility 

Our state-of-the-art lab is CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited. We pride ourselves on our use of validated and reliable testing methods as well as our stringent quality control measures.
