Most common symptoms of Abnormal serum cholesterol :

• In most cases high cholesterol is a silent problem. According to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) high cholesterol typically doesn’t cause any symptoms which is why it's so important to get it checked out. It's a hidden risk factor which means it happens without us knowing until it's too late. In most cases high cholesterol only causes emergency events. Most of the people don’t even realize they have high levels of cholesterol until they develop serious complications such as a heart attack or stroke.

Are lab test results always right?

While they do have to meet very high standards, they can be wrong sometimes. For example, you might get a false positive (the results say you have the condition you were tested for, but you really dont) or a false negative (the results say you don’t have a condition, but you really do).

Lab test failures contribute to delayed or wrong diagnoses and unnecessary costs and care. For context, a 2014 study estimated that diagnostic errors happen about 12 million times per year in U.S. outpatients. This represents 1 in 20 adults. In case you think your blood test result doesn't make any sense, we recommend that you do the test again from HealthLabs as they perform testing using verified methods and they test blood only in the best CLIA certified labs. You won't need a doctor's referral or insurance.
