LDL Cholesterol test in Business Bay, read by a doctor.
LDL Cholesterol is one of the most ordered tests by our British-trained GPs for Business Bay patients — and for good reason. A central — though imperfect — marker of cardiovascular risk and a primary target of preventive cardiology.
Why Business Bay patients use us
Aafiyah Care Clinic is based right here in Business Bay, at Churchill Executive Towers — which means we're not just covering this area, we're part of it. Whether you need a same-day appointment at our clinic, a doctor at your door in one of the Business Bay towers, or a nurse to draw bloods before you head into back-to-back meetings, our team can usually be with you within the hour. Many of our patients are professionals working in Business Bay who value being able to walk to a proper GP appointment on their lunch break, or have a clinician come to their apartment after hours without losing an evening to a hospital waiting room.
What LDL Cholesterol actually tells us
Cholesterol carried in LDL particles, traditionally called 'bad cholesterol' because it deposits in artery walls.
We always pair LDL with ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP and an overall cardiovascular risk score before recommending therapy.
High LDL Cholesterol
Optimal: <2.6 mmol/L. Borderline: 2.6–3.3. High: 3.4–4.1. Very high: ≥4.9 (consider familial hypercholesterolaemia).
Low LDL Cholesterol
Very low LDL is generally safe; ensure adequate nutrition.
