Lipid Profile Test

The Lipid Profile helps measure and monitor the amount of total cholesterol (fats) in the body. This profile is used to determine your overall cardiovascular health, especially if you have risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. It is usually done as part of routine health checkups. Lipids are the fats your body uses as a source of energy. They are essential for proper body functioning, but their high levels can lead to cardiovascular and heart complications. The Lipid Profile is a standard blood test used to assess the health of your cardiovascular system and aid in diagnosing and managing lipid disorders. This test measures different lipids in your blood, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, total cholesterol, etc.
