Lipids are one of the necessary components which control cellular functions and homeostasis. It is a waxy substance found in cell membranes. Lipids play a pivotal role in physiological functions by transporting energy and storing it. High levels of certain types of lipids in the bloodstream are harmful and raise the risk of coronary artery disease.
Lipids combine with proteins to circulate in the blood, this combination is lipoprotein. Lipoproteins are of two types, LDL and HDL.
PharmEasy offers a lipid profile consisting of
- LDL- low density lipoproteins, commonly known as bad cholesterol as high levels of LDL cause cholesterol to build up in the arteries, slowly narrowing them.
- HDL- high density lipoproteins, also called good cholesterol, because it brings cholesterol from other parts of the body back to the liver, the liver then removes it from the body. Thus HDL prevents the accumulation of cholesterol in the arteries.
- TC- means the total amount of cholesterol circulating in the blood.
- VLDL- very low-density lipoproteins are considered as a bad type of cholesterol.
- Triglycerides- a type of fat. Triglycerides are associated with cardiovascular diseases and pancreatic inflammation.
- LDL/HDL ratio- too high of this ratio means too bad for the heart.
- TC/HDL ratio- higher ratios mean a higher risk of heart disease.
- Non-HDL cholesterol- it contains all the bad types of cholesterol.
- HDL/LDL ratio- the lower this ratio, the better the cholesterol level.

Test Necessity
Doctors use the lipid profile test for these factors:
- As a routine blood test to know your cholesterol level.
- If you have previously had abnormal cholesterol levels or you have risk factors for artery blockages that may lead to atherosclerosis and heart disease.
- It helps to monitor whether cholesterol medications are working as expected.
- It helps determine other conditions, such as liver disease, hypothyroidism, pancreatitis, chronic kidney disease etc.
For those with high cholesterol and other cardiac risk factors, such as diabetes, more frequent testing is recommended.
Children may need lipid profile blood tests because they can also have high cholesterol. Three causes of high cholesterol in children are diet, obesity and heredity.
Test Preparation
In a lipid profile test, 8 to 12 hours of fasting is required. During this period you can drink water only.
During the Lipid Profile Test

Risks and Limitations
Risks / Possible Complications
A Lipid Profile Test is a commonly performed blood test that rarely leads to complications. If you encounter any of the following, seek medical advice promptly:
- Continuous bleeding from the puncture area
- Pain or swelling at the collection site
Limitations
- Possible interference with test outcomes caused by errors made by either the machine or the operator
- Risk of misinterpreting the markers
Test Result Interpretation
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.
Ranges
Type of Cholesterol | Desirable Range | Borderline | High |
Total Cholesterol | <200 mg/dL | 200 - 239 mg/dL | Above 240 mg/dL |
Low-Density Cholesterol (LDL) | <100 mg/dL | 101- 159 mg/dL | Above 160 mg/dL |
High-Density Cholesterol (HDL) | More than 60 mg/dL | 40 - 59 mg/dL | Less than 40 mg/dL |
Triglycerides | <150 mg/dL | 151 - 199 mg/dL | 200 - 499 mg/dL |
VLDL | <30 mg/dL | 31 - 40 mg/dL | More than 40 mg/dL |
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.
