Description
A lipid profile test checks the levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and bad cholesterol (LDL) in your blood. Too much bad cholesterol can lead to serious health problems like heart attacks or strokes.
This test helps detect any imbalance in cholesterol or fat levels so you can take action early and stay healthy.
Overview of the Test
A lipid profile measures lipids in the blood, which include:
Cholesterol
Triglycerides
These are types of fats that your body uses for energy, but too much of them can be harmful.
Abnormal lipid levels can happen due to:
Unhealthy eating
Lack of exercise
Certain medicines
Age or medical conditions
This test helps your doctor check if your lipid levels are normal. If they are not, your doctor may suggest lifestyle changes or medications to prevent future health issues.
