The Lipid test comprises the following 10 tests for a detailed understanding of your body’s lipid profile and assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases:

1. LDL Cholesterol Direct: a measure of the cholesterol in low-density lipoproteins (LDL).
2. Total Cholesterol: a measure of the total cholesterol in the blood.
3. HDL Cholesterol: a measure of the cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
4. Triglycerides: a measure of triglycerides in the blood.
5. Serum VLDL cholesterol: a measure of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) in the blood.
6. LDL/HDL ratio: a ratio of the two types of lipids, LDL and HDL, in the blood. It helps predict the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
7. TC/HDL Cholesterol Ratio: a ratio of Total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol. It helps predict the risk of heart disease.
8. Non-HDL Cholesterol: a measure of the non-HDL cholesterol level in the blood.
9. HDL /LDL Cholesterol Ratio: a ratio of the two types of lipids, HDL and LDL, in the blood. It helps predict the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
10. TRIG/HDL Ratio: a ratio of triglycerides to HDL in the blood.

Today’s generation is more prone to suffering from cardiovascular diseases given the new-age hectic lifestyle and food habits. A lipid profile test is advised to assess the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. These are indicators of an individual’s cardiovascular health. High levels of cholesterol and triglycerides suggest an increased risk of heart issues. Moreover, since there are no symptoms that might suggest a cause for concern, getting a lipid profile test as part of one’s regular health check routine is important. A doctor can suggest the right course of treatment and lifestyle changes by studying your lipid profile test results.

The Lipid profile test requires fasting for a minimum of 12 hours. You may drink only water during this fasting period.

During the Lipid Profile Test

A PharmEasy phlebotomist will arrive at the scheduled date, time and place for sample collection. A sealed kit containing one-time-use materials is used for the test. A Vein Finder machine is used to detect a vein from which blood may be withdrawn. The phlebotomist is trained for a safe and smooth blood collection process. A small needle puncture is made to withdraw blood, which is then stored in a sanitized, labeled container. Once done, the puncture is cleaned with an antiseptic-soaked cotton swab and sealed with a bandage. The whole process takes no more than 5 to 10 minutes.
