Lipid Profile

A Lipid Profile is a blood test that measures the levels of various fats (lipids) in the blood, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. This test is used to assess an individual’s risk for cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. A healthy lipid profile, with balanced levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol), is essential for maintaining heart health. The Lipid Profile is often used to monitor lipid-lowering treatments and evaluate overall cardiovascular health.
