Complete lipid profile including total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides.
A lipid panel measures the fats and fatty substances in your blood that are key indicators of cardiovascular risk. The standard panel includes total cholesterol, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, HDL ("good") cholesterol, and triglycerides. Advanced panels may also measure ApoB, Lp(a), and lipoprotein particle size — markers that more accurately predict heart disease risk than standard cholesterol alone. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and lipid testing is one of the most effective tools for early risk detection. Regular monitoring allows you to track the impact of diet, exercise, and medication on your cardiovascular health.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
Adults over 20 as part of routine cardiovascular risk screening. Anyone with a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or stroke. People monitoring the effectiveness of statins or other lipid-lowering medications. Those with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, or obesity who face elevated cardiovascular risk.
