Healthy individuals are recommended to get their cholesterol checked every 4 to 6 years. However, people who have heart disease, diabetes, or a family history of high cholesterol, need to get their cholesterol checked more often

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a ANTI NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA (NMO) ANTIBODY / AQUAPORIN 4 (SERUM) Test or Take a GLUCOSE - SERUM / PLASMA (1/2 HR) Test
