You will be asked to do the lipid profile test if you have any risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. These are:

• Smoking
• Sedentary lifestyle
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Hereditary heart conditions
• Obesity

Abnormal lipid levels usually do not have any signs, but some health conditions like hypertension, HIV/AIDS, and chronic kidney diseases can increase lipid levels. Elevated lipid levels increase the probability of developing a cardiovascular disease as it can cause a clot in the artery.

Consumption of food or sugary drinks before the lipid profile test can affect the test results. It is necessary to fast for 12 hours before the test, and eat or drink nothing apart from water.

During the Lipid Profile Test

Once the booking has been made for the lipid profile test, the phlebotomist will arrive at the specified location to collect the blood sample. The phlebotomists use sterilised needles and gloves, and a vein finder device that helps them find the ideal vein in the forearm to draw blood from. The blood is safely stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, then transported to the lab for testing.

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.
