Overview
Lipid Profile test will help determine the amount of certain fat molecules called lipids in your blood. Since the risk assessment is done for Heart disease, stroke, pancreatitis, hypertension, and obesity, it includes a group of 10 tests to draw correct analysis. It's important to see if you have too many lipids in your body. High levels of lipids further lead to increasing the risk of cardiovascular problems in your body. This test can be used for elders as well as children to determine the risk of cardiovascular diseases which include heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
The lipid profile test will include the following 10 tests:
- Total Cholesterol
- LDL Cholesterol direct
- HDL Cholesterol
- LDL/HDL ratio
- Non-HDL Cholesterol
- TC/HDL Cholesterol Ratio
- Triglycerides
- Serum VLDL cholesterol
- HDL / LDL Cholesterol Ratio
- TRIG / HDL Ratio
Your healthcare provider may suggest this test just to check if your cholesterol level is normal or falls into a borderline-, intermediate- or high-risk category. It will also help in determining your body's response to treatment, apart from diagnosing medical conditions such as liver disease.
