Statins are one of the major breakthroughs in medicine in the last 10 years. It has been

I want to get a simple cholesterol test so that I can get the LDL, HDL and CRP figures. Where can I go to get this test in Shanghai? I went to a hospital and they want to give me a blood test that was for a variety of ailments//diseases//aids, etc. I want a simple finger prick test like I had in the USA. Please advise.
