The value

Why it's worth knowing

The complete LipoScreen picture

LDL subfractions, oxidised LDL and HDL subfractions in a single test. Twenty-six markers covering the particles that harm you, the damage they carry, and the particles that protect you.

Both sides of the cholesterol story

Most advanced testing details LDL and leaves HDL as one number. This separates HDL into large, intermediate and small alongside the full LDL-1 to LDL-7 breakdown.

Oxidised LDL included

LDL drives plaque once it oxidises. Measuring oxidised LDL brings you closer to the process itself rather than inferring it from a cholesterol level.

Phenotype, VLDL, IDL and Lp(a)

Your Pattern A or Pattern B phenotype, the intermediate fractions routine testing skips, and the inherited Lp(a) risk marker, all in one visit.

Our most detailed LipoScreen tier

If you have run standard panels and want the deepest lipid analysis available without assembling it from separate tests, this is the one.

No. MediTests is a private, self-request service. You order online and receive your referral instantly. No GP visit required, no Medicare needed.

At-home test results typically take 2 to 4 weeks from when your sample reaches the lab. The exact timing depends on the test (microbiome mapping, methylation and metabolomics testing all require more advanced lab processes than standard bloodwork). You'll receive the full pathology report by email once it's ready.

Once you order, your kit is posted directly to your address within 1 to 3 business days. The kit includes everything you need (collection materials, step-by-step instructions, plus a pre-paid return mailer). No collection centre visit required.

No. The price you see includes the referral, the testing and your results. No consultation fees, no lab charges, no surprises.

Our team reviews every report. If anything stands out, we'll flag it and recommend taking your results to a practitioner (dietitian, naturopath or integrative GP) for proper interpretation in the context of your medical history.

Yes. Each kit comes with clear, step-by-step instructions designed to be simple to follow. Most samples take 5 to 15 minutes to collect. The instructions cover exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to package your sample for return. If anything's unclear, our team is available to help.

If your sample is compromised on collection or arrives at the lab unsuitable for testing, we'll send you a replacement kit at no additional charge. The instructions are designed to make collection easy and reliable, but mistakes happen and we've built the process to handle them. Just let us know.

Your kit includes a pre-paid return mailer. Once your sample is collected, package it as the instructions show and drop it at any Australia Post box or post office. Some samples have specific shipping requirements (e.g., temperature-sensitive samples) and instructions for these are included with the kit.

A very positive experience

I booked a blood test because my health insurance did not cover GP consultations. The referral form was emailed to me immediately, I walked into a collection centre the next morning and my results arrived the very next day. One result showed an elevated TSH level and because I was pregnant, a doctor from their Sydney office personally called me to talk it through. It made me feel they genuinely cared.

Could not have been better

I've been in remission from Graves Disease for a few years and suddenly had symptoms again. It was easy to choose and purchase the test I needed at a reasonable price and set up the appointment online for the next day. The lab tech was friendly and put me entirely at ease, and the results were delivered electronically within a day or two. Could not have been better.

Efficient from start to finish

I selected and ordered the tests I wanted online, then dropped into the clinic for the blood draw during my lunch break. The process was quick and efficient, and by lunchtime the following day my results had been emailed directly to me. Fast, convenient and hassle-free.

LipoScreen LDL Subfractions & Oxidised LDL & HDL Subfractions Test

The LipoScreen LDL Subfractions, Oxidised LDL & HDL Subfractions Test provides one of the most advanced cardiovascular assessments available. Rather than simply measuring cholesterol levels, it analyses the size and distribution of LDL particles, measures oxidised LDL and evaluates the different subclasses of HDL cholesterol to provide a far more detailed picture of cardiovascular risk than a conventional lipid profile.

This profile measures VLDL, IDL, seven LDL subfractions, three HDL subfractions, LDL phenotype and mean LDL particle size. It can identify highly atherogenic small, dense LDL particles, assess protective HDL particle distribution and measure oxidised LDL, a key marker involved in the development of atherosclerosis. It is ideal for individuals with elevated cholesterol, a family history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome or those seeking the most comprehensive evaluation of their heart health.

What we test for

  • Total Cholesterol: Measures the total amount of cholesterol circulating in your blood and provides an overall assessment of cardiovascular health.
  • Triglycerides: Measures circulating blood fats that contribute to cardiovascular and metabolic health.
  • HDL Cholesterol: Measures high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, commonly known as “good” cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream.
  • LDL Cholesterol: Measures low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, commonly referred to as “bad” cholesterol due to its association with plaque formation in arteries.
  • Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL): Measures triglyceride-rich lipoproteins that contribute to cardiovascular disease when elevated.
  • Intermediate-Density Lipoprotein (IDL): Measures intermediate lipoprotein particles that provide additional insight into lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk.
  • LDL-1: Measures the largest, least atherogenic LDL particles.
  • LDL-2: Measures large LDL particles generally associated with lower cardiovascular risk than smaller LDL particles.
  • LDL-3: Measures small, dense LDL particles strongly associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease.
  • LDL-4: Measures very small LDL particles associated with increased plaque formation.
  • LDL-5: Measures highly dense LDL particles associated with advanced cardiovascular risk.
  • LDL-6: Measures one of the smallest LDL particle subclasses associated with highly atherogenic lipid profiles.
  • LDL-7: Measures the smallest and densest LDL particles included in the LipoScreen analysis.
  • LDL Phenotype Pattern: Classifies your LDL profile into Type A or Type B patterns based on LDL particle distribution.
  • Mean LDL Particle Size: Measures the average size of LDL particles, with smaller particles generally associated with greater cardiovascular risk.
  • Oxidised LDL: Measures oxidatively modified LDL cholesterol, an important marker of oxidative stress that contributes to the development of atherosclerosis.
  • Large HDL Subfractions (HDL 1–3): Measures the largest HDL particles, generally considered the most protective against cardiovascular disease.
  • Intermediate HDL Subfractions (HDL 4–7): Measures intermediate-sized HDL particles involved in reverse cholesterol transport.
  • Small HDL Subfractions (HDL 8–10): Measures the smallest HDL particles, providing additional insight into HDL function and cardiovascular health.
