Lipid profile
What Is a Lipid Profile?
A Lipid Profile is a commonly requested blood test that measures different types of fats (lipids) in your bloodstream. It is used to assess cardiovascular health, detect cholesterol imbalances, and evaluate your risk of heart disease and stroke.
This test provides important insights into how well your body manages cholesterol and triglycerides, helping identify potential risks before symptoms develop.
What This Test Measures
Your Lipid Profile test includes detailed analysis of:
Total Cholesterol
LDL Cholesterol
HDL Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol / HDL
Cholesterol Ratio
Triglycerides
These markers help evaluate heart health, cholesterol balance, cardiovascular risk, and overall metabolic function.
