What are the four types of lipids that the lipid profile test checks?

The four types of lipids that the test checks for are Triglycerides, Low-Density Lipoprotein or LDL, High-Density Lipoprotein or HDL, and Very Low-Density Lipoprotein or VLDL.

Why is fasting required before the lipid profile test?

Fasting reduces the variations in the results that can occur due to consumption of food and beverages. Food can cause changes in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. This is why fasting is essential to get accurate test results.

Test Necessity

There are no signs and symptoms of abnormal lipid levels, and certain diseases like diabetes, hypertension, HIV/AIDS, or chronic kidney disease can cause elevated lipid levels. These diseases increase the chances of developing a clot in the arteries that can cause a stroke or heart attack.

The doctor will prescribe the lipid profile test for people who are at risk of developing any cardiovascular diseases. Some of these risk factors are:

High cholesterol
Smoking
Sedentary lifestyle
High blood pressure
Obesity
Diabetes
Family history of heart issues

The lipid profile test is also prescribed as a part of a routine checkup.

Test Preparation

It is necessary to fast for 12 hours before the lipid profile test. You should not eat or drink anything apart from water during this period.

During the Lipid Profile Test

Book the lipid profile test with PharmEasy Labs, and a phlebotomist will be assigned who will arrive at the location to collect the sample. To maintain hygiene, the phlebotomists use sterilised disposable needles and gloves. The vein finder device helps them find the best vein to draw blood from, reducing discomfort.

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.
