Overview
The lipid profile test is comprehensive, checking these:
- Direct LDL cholesterol
- Total cholesterol
- Triglycerides
- HDL cholesterol
- Serum VLDL cholesterol
- LDL/HDL ratio
- TC/HDL ratio
- Non-HDL cholesterol
- Triglyceride/HDL ratio
Typically, high cholesterol levels do not have any symptoms as such, and if left untreated, can cause heart problems. This is why the lipid profile test is important as it helps in timely detection and management. Certain health conditions like chronic kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, and HIV can cause the lipid levels to be elevated.

Test Necessity
If you are at risk of developing any cardiovascular diseases, the lipid profile test is important, and will be prescribed by the doctor. These risk factors include:
- High cholesterol
- Smoking
- Living a sedentary lifestyle
- High blood pressure
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- History of heart diseases in the family
Test Preparation
It is essential to fast for about 12 hours before the lipid profile test as food or beverages can change the lipid levels, yielding an incorrect result. Do not eat or drink anything apart from water during the fasting period.
During the Lipid Profile Test
After the lipid profile test has been booked, an experienced phlebotomist will arrive at your location to collect the blood sample. They carry a vein finder device - a unique tool that helps to locate the most suitable vein to use to draw blood. The vein is then cleaned with ethanol, and blood is drawn using sterilised needles and gloves. Once the sample is collected, it is stored in barcoded vials and then sent to the lab for testing.
