Hi,
I just ask my Dr to arrange for bloods to be drawn and tested for my Cholesterol levels. Normally as they are drawing blood I get my kidney function, B12 level, vitamin D3, hemoglobin and anything else done at the same time, so I have a good understanding of where I'm at overall.
The cholesterol results should give you three readings, the so called good and bad Cholesterol, then they give me a final figure. For me it usually takes a few days for the results to come back. It is the only way to be sure what I think might be going on is correct or not.
Cheers

Lipid panel covers all the cholesterol tests
Complete or comprehensive metabolic panel covers most of the other parameters. Thyroid levels & vitamin levels would need yo be requested separately.
