Key takeaways
- The Cholesterol package reports total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL.
- Lipids are often reviewed together with glucose and liver markers.
- Testing is available in West Bay or at your address through home collection.
The four lipid markers
Eden's Cholesterol package covers total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL. Total cholesterol is the overall figure; HDL and LDL are two carrier fractions reported separately; triglycerides are a different class of blood fat measured alongside them.
Reporting the fractions separately is what allows a clinician to read the overall number in context.
Combining with other markers
Cholesterol is frequently reviewed alongside glucose markers. Eden's Diabetes Check-Up covers HbA1c, fasting blood glucose and urine analysis, and the Liver Function package covers AST, ALT, bilirubin, protein, albumin and ALP.
The Sports Energy & Recovery package is the broadest single panel at Eden, covering blood count, iron, vitamins, minerals, kidney, liver, HbA1c and thyroid markers in one booking.
Where to test in Doha
Testing takes place at Eden Health Center, Laffan Tower, Floor 1, West Bay, Doha. The laboratory is open Saturday to Thursday from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM and on Friday from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Home sample collection is also available if you would prefer the visit to take place at your address.
How booking works at Eden, step by step
Every Eden package is booked from the same short online form. You choose the package, decide between a visit to the laboratory at Laffan Tower in West Bay or home sample collection, pick the date and time that suits you, add your contact details, and state whether you are paying yourself or using insurance. A confirmation number is shown on screen as soon as the request is submitted, and the laboratory team follows up to confirm the slot.
Prices are published next to each package, in Qatari riyals, with the full list of included biomarkers. There is no separate consultation charge for booking a package, and nothing is added to the list of tests without your agreement. If you prefer to arrange the appointment by phone, call 4044 1999 or send a message on WhatsApp to 5580 1999.
If you hold health insurance, Eden works with MSH, GIG, Henner, Cigna, MetLife, GlobeMed, QLM and AlKoot. Bring your insurance card together with your Qatar ID so reception can verify your coverage before the sample is taken.
Reading and keeping your Eden report
Eden issues a digital laboratory report that lists every measured value beside the laboratory reference range, so you and your doctor can see exactly what was analysed. You can request a secure PDF by email or through the patient portal, and a printed copy can be prepared for pickup or delivery if you need one for a clinic visit, an employer or an insurance file.
A result that sits outside a reference range is not a diagnosis on its own; ranges vary with the method used, and a value only becomes meaningful alongside your symptoms, history and examination. Eden reports the measurements accurately and leaves interpretation to your treating clinician.
Keeping your previous reports is useful. Comparing the same marker measured on the same panel over time usually tells a clinician more than a single reading, which is why many patients repeat the same Eden package rather than switching between different test lists.
