Description
The Lipid Panel is a blood test that measures the levels of fats and cholesterol in your blood. It helps evaluate your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions. This test is commonly used as part of routine health checkups and to monitor treatment for high cholesterol or heart disease.
The Process
A small blood sample is analyzed for:
-
Total Cholesterol – overall cholesterol level
-
HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) – “good” cholesterol that helps remove excess fat from the blood
-
LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) – “bad” cholesterol that can build up in arteries
-
Triglycerides – a type of fat that stores unused calories and can contribute to heart disease risk
