Quick answer
The Thyroid and Cholesterol Test Combo costs ₹699 and covers 2 tests (10 parameters). A 2-test combo of the full thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH) and lipid profile. Fast 10 to 12 hours first, with plain water allowed. Reports are usually ready the same day. Book home sample collection or visit any of our 45 centres.
Many people do not know that a sluggish thyroid can push cholesterol up. If the thyroid is part of the cause, treating it may improve the numbers, and that can change what your doctor advises next. This 2-test combo is for people with raised cholesterol who have never checked their thyroid, and for those on thyroid treatment who need a routine cholesterol check. It asks: could these two be linked in my case?
The thyroid profile measures T3, T4 and TSH. The lipid profile measures total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides. Read together, they give a doctor more to work with than either one alone, and that is especially useful before long-term cholesterol medicine is considered.
This combo is deliberately narrow. It says nothing about diabetes, kidneys or liver, all of which also bear on heart risk. If you want a wider view of that risk, the Heart Health Package is a better starting point. Whatever your result shows, please speak to your doctor before changing your thyroid tablet or cholesterol medicine.

Thyroid and Cholesterol Combo – FAQs
What is the price of the Thyroid and Cholesterol Test Combo?
₹699 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the Thyroid and Cholesterol Combo?
2 tests: Thyroid Profile Test (T3, T4, TSH), Lipid Profile Test.
Is fasting required for the Thyroid and Cholesterol Combo?
Yes. Fast 10 to 12 hours first, and plain water is allowed.
How is this different from the Heart Health Package?
This combo covers just the thyroid profile and cholesterol. The Heart Health Package looks at overall heart risk, so it adds fasting sugar, HbA1c, CRP, creatinine and electrolytes, and uses TSH alone. Choose this combo if your concern is the link between thyroid and cholesterol.
Can an underactive thyroid really raise cholesterol?
Yes. Thyroid hormone helps the liver clear LDL cholesterol from the blood, so when thyroid levels are low, LDL can build up. This is why many doctors check the thyroid when they find raised cholesterol, particularly if there is also tiredness or weight gain.
If both results are abnormal, which is treated first?
That is a decision for your doctor. When an underactive thyroid is found, doctors often treat it and then recheck cholesterol once levels settle, since the numbers may improve on their own. Your overall heart risk also matters, so please do not delay or change any treatment yourself.
My thyroid is controlled. Do I still need a cholesterol check?
Usually, yes. Controlled thyroid disease does not remove the other causes of high cholesterol, such as diet, family history or diabetes. Many doctors advise a lipid profile about once a year for adults, or more often if you already have raised values.
