During the Lipid Profile Test

PharmEasy’s dedication to exceptional patient experiences shines through its approach towards the Lipid Profile test. Proficient phlebotomists utilize vein finders, ensuring precise and smooth blood collection. The process is designed with a focus on patient comfort and accuracy, maintaining the integrity of the samples for an uncompromised and reliable diagnostic outcome.

The values are the same for males and females.

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.

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.
