Lipid Profile Test

Measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, vital for heart health assessment.

Why It's Performed:

• Assess cardiovascular risk
• Identify pancreatitis risk
• Detect genetic diseases
• Routine health check
• Rule out heart problems
• Monitor cardiovascular risks
• Evaluate treatment effectiveness

Test Results:

Normal Ranges:

• Total cholesterol: < 200mg/dL
• HDL cholesterol: ? 60mg/dL
• LDL cholesterol: 60-130mg/dL
• Triglycerides: < 150mg/dL

Interpretation:

Abnormal lipid levels can signal a risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks or strokes. Prioritize your heart health with a lipid profile test.

How it works?

Sample Collection:

A healthcare pro collects blood, either from your vein or a heel stick for infants, then sends it for analysis.

Preparation:

Fasting may be needed for 9-12 hours, Fasting may not necessarily be required in children and young adults.

About Lipids:

Lipids store energy, play cellular roles. Key lipids: cholesterol and triglycerides.

Managing High Lipid Profile:

• Low saturated/trans fat diet
• Regular exercise
• No smoking

Atherosclerosis:

High cholesterol deposits as plaque in blood vessels, raising cardiovascular disease risk.

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein):

Good cholesterol transports cholesterol to the liver, lowering cardiovascular disease risk.
