AN OVERVIEW
About Total Cholesterol Test
Why is a total cholesterol test done?
People who are obese are often advised to get a lipid profiling done in order to understand the concentration of cholesterol present in their bodies. This measurement aids the doctor in prescribing the correct prognosis. People who are not overly obese are also advised to get a total cholesterol test in Kolkata done if they have a genetic condition or a family history of high cholesterol levels.
When a doctor sees the following symptoms they suggest a total cholesterol test:
- Has diabetes
- Are obese and find losing weight difficult
- Leads an unhealthy lifestyle
- Has a heart condition
- Is a chain smoker
What does the total cholesterol test measure?
Cholesterol is the building of fat (known as plaques) in the lining of the blood vessels. This leads to the narrowing of the vessels causing blockage and even heart failure. The total cholesterol test in Kolkata calculates the amount of lipids present in the person’s body.
The concentration does vary due to gender, ethnicity, age, and even certain medications can cause a high concentration of cholesterol in the bloodstream.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the Total Cholesterol Test results
When interpreting the results of the total cholesterol test in Kolkata, a standard measurement is provided. In the case of total cholesterol, the general rule is that the lower the concentration, the better it is for the person. Measured in milligrams of cholesterol per deciliter, the ideal concentration should be less than 200 mg/dL.
There are no side effects when the levels of total cholesterol are lower in a person. In the higher range, when the concentration falls between 201 mg/dL to 240 mg/dL, it is called being at the borderline. People within this range are advised to opt for a lifestyle change. For people whose cholesterol levels are over 240 mg/dL, it is advised to consider going on a diet, quitting smoking, and eating healthy, while avoiding fatty foods completely.
