The link below will offer more information so that some readers are prepared to ask for this
test
when they have their traditional
cholesterol
check up. It is inexpensive to add the

Statins and prednisolone
I have been on prednisolone for nearly two years, starting on 15 mg, now down to 6mg. Previously tapering at 0.5 mg every 6 weeks, more recently tapering at 0.5 mg at 8 week intervals. Now wondering whether to extend that interval further, after having had a bad flare. Following a recent diagnosis
