The only preparation you will need for this test is to undergo fasting for a minimum of 12 hours. Please note that you cannot eat anything during this period. You are allowed to drink water. After the test, you can eat and drink normally.

During the Lipid Profile Test

A phlebotomist will arrive at your door to collect your fasting blood sample. The sample will be drawn from a vein, usually from your arm. The entire analysis of your cholesterol will be done with this small sample. The entire testing process will take just 3-5 minutes.

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.
