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.

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.
