एक कम्पलीट कोलेस्ट्रॉल और ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स (triglycerides) परीक्षण को लिपिड प्रोफाइल या लिपिड पैनल परीक्षण भी कहा जाता है। यह एक साधारण खून परीक्षण जो हृदय संबंधी जोखिम को समझने के लिए भी किया जाता है।
नमूना प्रकार:
खून
उपवास \ खाली पेट रहना जरूरी:
हां
उपनाम:
लिपिड पैनल, कम्पलीट कोलेस्ट्रॉल परीक्षण
नमूना प्रकार
लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण के परिणाम खून के नमूने के विश्लेषण से प्राप्त होते हैं। लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट में पूरे कोलेस्ट्रॉल का विश्लेषण एक ही खून के नमूने से किया जाता है।
एक लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण एक नियमित स्वास्थ्य जांच का हिस्सा है। परीक्षण को हर छह महीने में दोहराने की आवश्यकता हो सकती है जब कोई व्यक्ति चल रहे उपचार की प्रभावशीलता का मूल्यांकन करने के लिए डिस्लिपिडेमिया के लिए दवा पर होता है। लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण को मधुमेह, उच्च खूनचाप और पुरानी गुर्दे की बीमारी जैसे अन्य बीमारियों वाले लोगों में हर छह महीने में पुनरावृत्ति की आवश्यकता हो सकती है।
यदि पिछले लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण परिणाम सामान्य थे या आप किसी भी दवा पर नहीं तो परीक्षण वार्षिक हो सकता है | निदान की केवल पुष्टि (confirmation) को सकारात्मक लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण के रूप में योग्य नहीं किया जा सकता है।
लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट के अन्य नाम
टेस्ट समावेशन: कौन से पैरामीटर शामिल हैं?
लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण में निम्नलिखित शामिल हैं-
लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण टोटल कोलेस्ट्रॉल, LDL, HDL और ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स के स्तर को मापता है। लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट उन मरीजों के लिए निर्धारित किया जाता है, जिन्हें कार्डियक बीमारियों या लाइफस्टाइल डिसऑर्डर का खतरा अधिक होता है। लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट भी रूटीन बॉडी चेक-अप का हिस्सा हो सकता है।
डिस्लिपिडेमिया के कोई प्रत्यक्ष संकेत या लक्षण नहीं हैं। असामान्य लिपिड मान मौजूद हो सकते हैं यदि किसी व्यक्ति में निम्नलिखित स्थितियां हैंः
लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट उन लोगों के लिए भी एक आवश्यकता है जो हैंः
लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट इन शर्तों में से कुछ के लिए परामर्श चिकित्सक द्वारा निर्धारित किया जाता है। निदान के बाद, डिस्लिपिडेमिया के लिए उपचार और जीवन शैली में परिवर्तन एक MD चिकित्सक या नैदानिक कार्डियोलॉजिस्ट या नैदानिक पोषण विशेषज्ञ द्वारा शुरू किया जाता है।
खुराक की निगरानी (monitor) और विनियमन (regulation) के लिए लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण हर छह महीने में निर्धारित किया जा सकता है। लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट के परिणाम आपके डॉक्टर को उपचार प्रोटोकॉल तय करने में मदद कर सकते हैं। परिणाम के आधार पर, डॉक्टर समान उपचार जारी रख सकता है या दवाओं की खुराक को संशोधित कर सकता है।
लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट दोनों लिंगों के लिए लागू होता है। कुछ दवाएं खून कोलेस्ट्रॉल के स्तर को बढ़ा सकती हैं, जैसे बीटा-ब्लॉकर्स, ग्लुकोकोर्टिकोइड्स, कुछ हार्मोनल थेरेपी, मूत्रवर्धक और कुछ एंटीकॉन्वेलसेंट्स। सभी वर्तमान दवाओं के बारे में हमेशा अपने डॉक्टर को सूचित करें।

लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट का उपयोग डिस्लिपिडेमिया (dyslipidaemia) या उच्च कोलेस्ट्रॉल के स्तर के निदान के लिए किया जाता है। एक लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण की रिपोर्ट खून में टोटल कोलेस्ट्रॉल, ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स, कम घनत्व (density) वाले लिपोप्रोटीन और उच्च घनत्व वाले लिपोप्रोटीन के पूर्ण मूल्य प्रदान करती है।
लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट में चार प्रमुख पैरामीटर होते हैं। वे टोटल कोलेस्ट्रॉल (TC), ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स (TGC), कम घनत्व (density) वाले लिपोप्रोटीन (LDL) और उच्च घनत्व वाले लिपोप्रोटीन (HDL) हैं। कुछ लिपिड प्रोफाइल रिपोर्ट बहुत कम घनत्व वाले लिपोप्रोटीन (VLDL) का मूल्य भी प्रदान कर सकती हैं। उनमें से प्रत्येक के लिए सामान्य मूल्य एक सीमा है।
यदि यह 100 से 200 मिलीग्राम / dL की सीमा में है तो टोटल कोलेस्ट्रॉल सामान्य है।
यदि एक लिपिड प्रोफाइल रिपोर्ट में 150 मिलीग्राम / dL से नीचे ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स का मूल्य है, तो यह सामान्य है।
LDL रेंज 100 से 130 मिलीग्राम / dL है। VLDL की सीमा 5 से 40 मिलीग्राम / dL है।
HDL, जो अच्छा कोलेस्ट्रॉल है, सामान्य सीमा में है अगर यह 60 मिलीग्राम / dL से अधिक है।
एक लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण एक लिपिड प्रोफाइल के सभी मुख्य मापदंडों को शामिल करता है। इसके अलावा, यह दो और मूल्यों को प्रदर्शित कर सकता है। पूर्ण लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण के मुख्य पैरामीटर हैंः
टोटल कोलेस्ट्रोल
LDL कोलेस्ट्रोल प्रत्यक्ष
HDL कोलेस्ट्रोल
LDL/HDL अनुपात
नॉन HDL कोलेस्ट्रोल
TC/HDL कोलेस्ट्रॉल अनुपात
ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स
सीरम VLDL कोलेस्ट्रोल
HDL / LDL कोलेस्ट्रॉल अनुपात
TRIG / HDL अनुपात
यदि एक लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण के मूल्य उच्च हैं, तो यह डिस्लिपिडेमिया का संकेत है।सामान्य तौर पर गुड कोलेस्ट्रॉल ज्यादा और बैड कोलेस्ट्रॉल कम होना चाहिए। यह दोनों ही अपने रेफरेंस रेंज के अंदर होने चाहिए। उच्च कोलेस्ट्रॉल धमनियों (arteries) में एथेरोस्क्लेरोसिस (atherosclerosis) और प्लेक गठन का कारण बन सकता है। यह बिल्ड-अप भविष्य में हार्ट अटैक या स्ट्रोक का प्रमुख कारण हो सकता है।
स्तरों को सामान्य करने के लिए, दवा, आहार, व्यायाम और जीवन शैली में परिवर्तन का एक संयोजन निर्धारित किया जाता है।
लिपिड के चार प्रकार हैंः
ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स
कम घनत्व (density) वाले लिपोप्रोटीन (LDL)
उच्च घनत्व लिपोप्रोटीन (HDL)
बहुत कम घनत्व वाले लिपोप्रोटीन (VLDL)
हाँ। लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट की तैयारी के लिए 12 घंटे का उपवास आवश्यक है।
लिपिड प्रोफाइल टेस्ट की तैयारी के रूप में 12 घंटे के उपवास की आवश्यकता होती है। खाने के साथ आने वाली भिन्नताओं को कम करने के लिए उपवास की आवश्यकता होती है। भोजन टोटल कोलेस्ट्रॉल के स्तर में परिवर्तन का कारण बन सकता है। यह भी देखा गया है कि ट्राइग्लिसराइड्स भोजन के बाद कई घंटों तक उच्च रह सकते हैं। इस 12 घंटे के उपवास काल में पानी और दवाओं की अनुमति दी जाती है।
हां। लिपिड प्रोफाइल परीक्षण से पहले 12 घंटे की उपवास अवधि के दौरान पानी और दवाओं की अनुमति दी जाती है।
It is a common question whether or not to fast before a blood test. Whether you have to fast for 8 hours or 12 hours or less or more is based on the type of blood test you have been prescribed by your doctor. The specifics about preparing for your stated test will be notified to you by your healthcare provider. But it is common knowledge that is consuming food before most blood tests that mention fasting samples is a big NO! Even what you drink can seriously impact the outcome of the test. In case you are thirsty, you are allowed to drink a clear liquid like water, but other drinks like tea, coffee, coconut water or milk are strictly prohibited.
Even small things like smoking, chewing gum (sugarless or not) or even working out can rev up digestion and influence the test results. In this blog, let us find out a bit more about fasting before blood tests.
Fasting blood glucose estimation and lipid profile tests are commonly recommended tests which should be done in the fasting state. Overnight fasting therefore gives the most accurate test results.
Dr. Ashish Bajaj, M.B.B.S., M.D.
The lab professional or doctor can advise you on fasting before a test you have booked. Make sure to ask about this if not notified. Some common blood tests that require fasting are listed below:
Recommended fasting time for the test: 9-12 hours.
Recommended fasting time for the test: Minimum 8 hours.
Recommended fasting for the test: 10-12 hours.
Recommended fasting time for the test: 12 hours.
Recommended fasting time for the test: 6-8 hours.
Recommended fasting time for the test: Minimum 8 hours.
Important thing and misconception is that fasting will reduce blood sugar report , it doesn’t. HbA1c shows average blood sugar of 3 months.

Usually, your doctor or the lab professional will ask you to fast before a test, meaning that they will advise you to refrain from eating or drinking anything besides water for several hours (typically 8+ hours). This is because whatever you consume, solids or liquids are absorbed into the bloodstream, which affects the results of certain blood test types. This is why the patient is asked not to consume anything before the test starts the night before.
Ø Schedule tests as early as possible.
Ø Pack a snack for your child to have immediately after the test.
Ø If your child has already consumed something prior to the test, best to reschedule the test.
Ø Inform the doctor that you are pregnant when they are prescribing a blood test.
Ø When you are pregnant, fasting is safe if you are not having a high-risk pregnancy.
Ø If the weather is sweltering, the doctor may ask you to drink lots of water and remain indoors.
Ø In case you are experiencing heartburn at the time of pregnancy, inform your doctor immediately.
Ø Don’t consume high-fat foods the night before.
Ø Do not drink alcohol.
Ø Do not smoke.
Ø Do not engage in a strenuous exercise until the test is over.

| Name of the test | Purpose of the test |
| PSA Test (For men) | It is a blood test used to screen for prostate cancer. PSA is a protein produced by both cancerous and noncancerous tissue in the prostate. A high level of PSA in blood indicates the presence of prostate cancer. |
| CA 125 Test (For Women) | Some women have a high risk of having ovarian cancer. This test is helpful in the screening of such women but should not be considered confirmatory as it is also found in some non-cancerous conditions like:EndometriosisLiver cirrhosisNormal menstruationPelvic inflammatory diseaseUterine fibroids |
| CA 19-9 Test | This test measures the amount of a protein called CA 19-9 (cancer antigen 19-9) in the blood. High levels of CA 19-9 are a sign of pancreatic cancer or it may indicate other types of cancer or certain noncancerous disorders, including cirrhosis and gallstones. |
