Test Necessity
Your doctor may recommend a lipid panel blood test for several reasons, particularly if you possess one or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Frequent lipid panel screenings can be a proactive way to detect elevated cholesterol levels before symptoms appear. The risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease include:
- Age: Being over 45 years old for men, or assigned male at birth, and over 50 years old for women, or assigned female at birth.
- Previous high cholesterol readings on a test
- Cigarette smoking
- Obesity
- Sedentary lifestyle
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Diabetes or prediabetes
- A first-degree relative, like a parent or sibling, who developed early-onset heart disease (under 55 for males and under 65 for females).
Test Preparation
Yes, a fasting period of 10–12 hours is necessary before undergoing the lipid profile test. The most accurate results are obtained when this test is conducted on an empty stomach, which is why it's typically done in the morning after an overnight fast. During the fasting period, you are permitted to drink water, but it's important to refrain from consuming tea or coffee.
During the Lipid Profile Test
PharmEasy will arrange for a phlebotomist to collect your blood sample, typically from the most prominent vein in your forearm. For the lipid profile test, only a single needle prick is needed. The collected samples are then sent to a lab, where a skilled medical laboratory scientist processes and conducts the necessary tests using specialized analyzers.

The normal values, parameters, and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.
Test Result Interpretation
The four main components of the lipid profile test are Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL and LDL.
The Total Cholesterol to HDL ratio is not more important than the actual values. If the lipid profile report has a higher than usual reading for Total Cholesterol, it is diagnostic of dyslipidaemia. Dyslipidaemia, if left unchecked, increases the chances of atherosclerosis and subsequent heart attacks.
