Measures cholesterol and triglycerides to check your heart and blood vessel health.
Also known as: Lipid Profile, Cholesterol Test, Lipid Panel, Cholesterol Profile, Advanced Lipid Profile
The Lipid Profile Advance Test is a comprehensive blood test that measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels to assess your heart and blood vessel health. It helps detect abnormal lipid levels that may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke, and blocked arteries.
This advanced profile evaluates both good and bad cholesterol, triglycerides, and several calculated lipid ratios that provide a complete picture of your cardiovascular health.
If you have diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease, regular lipid testing is strongly recommended.
A Lipid Profile Advance Test measures different types of cholesterol and blood fats that influence heart health.
Doctors commonly recommend this test to:
Benefits of a lipid profile test:
Common symptoms of high cholesterol
High cholesterol often develops without noticeable symptoms. However, advanced cardiovascular disease may cause:
Regular testing is the best way to detect abnormal cholesterol levels before symptoms appear.
You may benefit from this test if you:
1.Total Cholesterol
Measures the total amount of cholesterol present in your blood.
2.HDL Cholesterol (Good Cholesterol)
Helps remove excess cholesterol from arteries and protects against heart disease.
3.LDL Cholesterol (Bad Cholesterol)
High levels may increase the risk of blocked arteries and cardiovascular disease.
4.Triglycerides
Measures fats stored in the bloodstream that provide energy to the body.
5.Non-HDL Cholesterol
Represents all cholesterol except HDL and is considered an important cardiovascular risk marker.
6.VLDL Cholesterol
Carries triglycerides throughout the body and may contribute to plaque formation when elevated.
7.LDL / HDL Ratio
Evaluates the balance between good and bad cholesterol.
8.Cholesterol / HDL Ratio
Provides an overall estimate of cardiovascular risk.
9.HDL / LDL Ratio
Another important indicator used to assess heart health.
For the most accurate results:
| Parameter | Normal range |
|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol | Below 200 mg/dL |
| HDL Cholesterol | Above 60 mg/dL |
| LDL Cholesterol | Below 100 mg/dL |
| Triglycerides | Below 150 mg/dL |
| Non-HDL Cholesterol | Below 130 mg/dL |
Reference ranges can differ between labs. Your report shows the range used by the lab.
