About The Test
This test measures the levels of different types of fats (lipids) in the blood, providing valuable insights into heart health. It typically includes the following components:
- Total Cholesterol
- Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol (often referred to as “bad” cholesterol)
- High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol (often referred to as “good” cholesterol)
- Triglycerides
Abnormal levels of these lipids can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease and stroke. The Lipid Profile helps assess the risk of heart-related conditions and guides lifestyle and treatment decisions for managing cholesterol levels.
