Statin Follow Up Blood Test
Statin Follow Up Blood Test
The Statin Follow-Up Blood Test is a targeted health screen used to monitor your cholesterol levels, liver function, and protein balance after starting or adjusting statin therapy. Statins are widely prescribed medications used to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes. While statins are generally well tolerated, they can occasionally affect liver function or alter lipid and protein profiles, making regular blood testing essential.
This follow-up panel aligns with guidance from the NHS, NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), and cardiology experts from institutions such as the British Heart Foundation, ensuring that patients on statins are safely monitored and optimally managed over time.
What Does It Test For?
This test checks how well your cholesterol-lowering treatment is working, whether your liver is processing the medication properly, and whether there are any signs of adverse effects. It measures your lipid profile, including HDL, LDL, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL percentage of total, as well as critical liver enzymes and protein levels to assess overall metabolic and hepatic health. The results help your doctor determine whether your current statin dose remains appropriate or needs adjusting.
