The Lipid Profile test measures various types of fats (lipids) in the blood, including total cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, and triglycerides. This test is used to evaluate cardiovascular health and assess the risk of heart disease, as imbalances in lipid levels can indicate an increased risk of atherosclerosis and other heart-related conditions. It is performed by drawing a blood sample, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to determine the levels of these lipids.
Regular lipid profiling helps in monitoring heart health, managing cholesterol levels, and guiding lifestyle or medication changes to reduce cardiovascular risk.
