Lipid Profile Test in Gwalior - Price & Details

PharmEasy Labs will make sure that the most accurate results are drawn from the lipid profile test. As you may know, lipids are the fatty acids and their derivatives that are present in our bodies. It is to be noted that not all lipids are bad. These are crucial in the functioning of the body as they are a part of the cell membranes and hormones. They are considered to be a storehouse of energy, also providing cushioning to your body. But there are certain kinds of lipids which can be dangerous if they are at high levels.

Different levels of cholesterol are measured through lipid profile tests such as below:

• Low-density lipoproteins: It is considered bad cholesterol because it forms plaques in the arteries and adversely affect heart health. Its desirable range should be less than 100 mg/dL.
• VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins): They appear when you have just eaten food. The increased level of VLDL in your blood sample can be a big problem. It should be less than 30 mg/dL.
• HDL (high-density lipoproteins): Also known as good cholesterol, it should be more than 60 mg/dL.
• Triglyceride: The excess calories are converted into triglycerides in our body. The desirable range is less than 150 mg/dL.
• Total cholesterol: It should be less than 200 mg/dL. It is the sum of all the different types of cholesterol in your body, i.e., LDL + VLDL + HDL.
