What is a Lipid profile?
A lipid profile is a blood-test panel that measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels used in cardiovascular risk assessment.
What it measures
A typical lipid panel reports total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Confirm the exact seven measurements included in Nidan Pathology’s listed profile.
Why it may be ordered
A clinician may request a lipid profile as part of preventive screening or to assess and monitor cardiovascular risk alongside other health information.
How to prepare
Fasting requirements for lipid testing can vary by clinical situation and by the other tests ordered. Confirm whether you should fast before your appointment.
