Enter your lipid profile values to instantly check your Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL and Triglycerides against ACC/AHA guidelines - all fields are optional.
All values in mg/dL. Fill any or all fields - each is checked independently.
Based on the ACC/AHA 2018 Cholesterol Guidelines - the global standard used by Indian cardiologists.

High LDL and low HDL are among the strongest predictors of heart attack and stroke. In India, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, and cholesterol management is central to prevention.
Lab reports list raw numbers without context. This checker instantly translates your lipid profile values into plain-language categories with actionable guidance.
Check your values after each lipid profile test to see whether dietary changes, exercise or medication are moving your numbers in the right direction.
Type your test results from your lipid profile report. Enter any or all of the four values - each field is checked independently.
Each entered value is instantly categorised against ACC/AHA 2018 guidelines and colour-coded from Optimal/Normal to Very High.
Each result card explains what the category means and what action to consider - from maintaining a healthy lifestyle to consulting a cardiologist.
After getting a lipid profile test, quickly understand what each number means before your next doctor's appointment.
Patients on cholesterol-lowering medication use this to track whether their LDL is reaching the target set by their cardiologist.
People with familial hypercholesterolaemia or a family history of early heart disease use this to monitor their lipid markers more closely.
Track whether switching to a low-saturated-fat diet or starting a regular exercise programme is improving your lipid profile over months.
HR teams providing annual health check-ups use this tool to help employees understand their lipid results on the spot.
People with diabetes are at higher risk of dyslipidaemia. Regular cholesterol monitoring is part of standard diabetes management.
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in every cell of the body. While essential for producing hormones and vitamin D, elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol cause plaque to build up in artery walls - a condition called atherosclerosis - increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. This tool lets you enter your Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and Triglyceride readings in mg/dL and classifies each value against the ACC/AHA (American College of Cardiology / American Heart Association) reference ranges.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the single largest cause of death in India, responsible for approximately 28% of all mortality according to a 2020 Lancet study. South Asians genetically tend to have lower HDL ("good") cholesterol and higher triglyceride levels compared to Western populations, making them more prone to CVD even at borderline LDL values. The Cardiology Society of India (CSI) recommends lipid panels every five years from age 20 for those without risk factors, and annually for those with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of heart disease.
Desirable Total Cholesterol is below 200 mg/dL; LDL below 100 mg/dL is optimal; HDL above 60 mg/dL is protective; and Triglycerides below 150 mg/dL are normal. This checker highlights which values fall outside the desirable range so you can have a focused, data-driven conversation with your physician about dietary changes, exercise, or statin therapy if needed.
