Note that the lipid profile test measures the amount of cholesterol, a substance necessary for the production of hormones and the formation of cell membranes. However, excessive amounts of cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis (clogging or hardening of arteries). This is why healthcare professionals focus on conducting lipid profile tests at the earliest (if needed). At PharmEasy, we also focus on quickly delivering test results to help you get started with medications if required.

Generally, healthcare professionals assign the lipid profile test to individuals with one or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Your doctor might also frequently assign the test to keep your health in check and ensure that elevated cholesterol levels are detected as quickly as possible. Some common risk factors of cardiovascular disease that doctors look for include:-

• Age - Women over 50 years of age and men over 45 years of age
• Previous test results - High cholesterol readings might signify a risk of cardiovascular disease
• Smoking - Cigarettes put people at risk of heart disease
• Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle
• High blood pressure or hypertension
• Diabetes or prediabetes
• A first-degree relative with an early-onset heart disease

Patients must fast for 10-12 hours before their lipid profile test to ensure accurate test results. Remember that you must avoid drinking tea or coffee and consuming food throughout this period.

During the Lipid Profile Test

Once you have booked your lipid profile test, an expert and vaccinated phlebotomist will be assigned by PharmEasy. They will visit your home and use a vein finder to precisely locate your veins and draw blood using sealed and sterilised needles.
