Test Name: Lipid Profile

Purpose:
The lipid profile test measures various types of fats (lipids) in your blood to assess your risk of cardiovascular disease. It provides key information about your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, helping to evaluate heart health and guide treatment decisions.

Components Measured:

• Total Cholesterol: The overall amount of cholesterol in the blood.
• Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol: Often referred to as "bad" cholesterol; high levels can lead to artery blockages.
• High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol: Known as "good" cholesterol; helps remove other forms of cholesterol from the bloodstream.
• Triglycerides: A type of fat in the blood that can also impact heart health.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Fasting Requirements:

• Fasting is generally recommended for 9-12 hours before the test to ensure accurate measurement of lipid levels, particularly triglycerides. Water is allowed, but you should avoid food and beverages during the fasting period.

Preparation:

• Fasting: Follow the fasting instructions carefully to avoid skewed results. Consult with your healthcare provider if you have any specific concerns or medical conditions.
• Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, as some drugs can affect lipid levels.

Collection Method:

• A blood sample will be drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle.
