Test Necessity
The Lipid panel is important for screening and monitoring the lipid levels in the bloodstream. Abnormal lipid levels can indicate heart disease risk, helping in early prevention and treatment. It is also used, along with other additional tests, to diagnose certain health conditions like hypothyroidism, chronic kidney disease, and pancreatitis.
Test Preparation
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.

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.
