Common reasons doctors order this test
What the Lipid Panel test measures
What this test measures
A lipid profile measures four main fats in the blood: total cholesterol; LDL cholesterol, the low-density lipoprotein that can build up in artery walls; HDL cholesterol, the high-density lipoprotein that carries cholesterol away from the arteries; and triglycerides, fats that come from the diet and from the body's energy stores. Some labs also report non-HDL cholesterol and the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL.
Who this test is commonly ordered for
Commonly ordered for
Doctors commonly order a lipid profile to assess cardiovascular risk, for people with a personal or family history of early heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity, for people who smoke, and for people taking cholesterol-lowering medicine. Recent food intake raises triglyceride levels, which is why the test is done after a fast. A doctor can advise whether this test is appropriate for you and how often to repeat it.
