Statin Check-Up Panel

The Statin Check-Up Panel is a comprehensive blood test designed to evaluate how your body is responding to statin therapy. Statins are commonly prescribed medications used to lower LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries, which can lead to heart attack or stroke.

While statins are highly effective, they can affect multiple systems in the body, including liver function, muscle health, inflammation levels, and antioxidant balance. This panel provides a well rounded assessment to ensure statin therapy is working effectively while minimizing potential side effects.

By measuring cholesterol levels alongside markers of liver health, inflammation, and cellular energy, this test helps identify early changes that may require treatment adjustments. Monitoring these markers supports safer and more personalized cholesterol management.

Regular statin monitoring allows individuals and healthcare providers to balance cardiovascular protection with overall wellness, helping ensure long term heart health and medication safety.

What Is Included In This Test?

This panel includes several key blood tests used to monitor statin therapy.

Your results will include:

• Lipid Panel - to evaluate cholesterol and triglyceride levels
• Alanine Aminotransferase - to assess liver enzyme activity
• Coenzyme Q10 - to evaluate antioxidant and cellular energy status
• High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein - to assess inflammation and cardiac risk

Why Does This Test Matter?

Statins lower LDL cholesterol but can also affect liver enzymes and Coenzyme Q10 levels in some individuals. Monitoring these markers helps detect potential side effects before symptoms develop.

The lipid panel confirms whether statin therapy is effectively reducing harmful cholesterol levels that contribute to atherosclerosis. Maintaining optimal cholesterol levels is essential for reducing heart attack and stroke risk.

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein provides insight into inflammation, which plays a critical role in cardiovascular disease. Even with controlled cholesterol, inflammation can increase cardiac risk.

By tracking multiple health markers at once, this panel supports safer statin use, better cardiovascular outcomes, and personalized treatment decisions.

Who Should Consider This Test?

This test is ideal for individuals currently taking statin medications or those beginning cholesterol-lowering therapy.

You should consider this test if you:

• Are currently prescribed statin medications
• Recently started cholesterol-lowering treatment
• Have a history of heart disease or high cholesterol
• Want to monitor liver health while on statins
• Experience muscle fatigue or low energy
• Want comprehensive insight into statin effectiveness

Routine monitoring helps ensure statin therapy remains safe and effective.
