What Does a Lipid Profile Test Measure?

Different types of lipids like low-density lipoproteins (LDL), high-density lipoproteins (HDL), very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), cholesterol, and others are checked in lipid profiles.

  • Lipids: Blood contains lipoproteins that carry two key types of lipids: cholesterol and triglycerides.

  • Analysis: This test measures various lipids including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Additional results may include VLDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol.

  • Cholesterol: It's a waxy substance found in cells, aiding cell building, hormone production, and vitamin synthesis. High cholesterol levels can clog arteries and cause serious health issues.

  • HDL Cholesterol: Known as good cholesterol, HDL removes other forms of cholesterol from the blood, lowering heart disease risk.

  • LDL Cholesterol: Also known as bad cholesterol, LDL blocks blood vessels, leading to heart attacks and strokes.

  • Triglycerides: These fats are stored in the body and provide energy when needed. High triglyceride levels can thicken and harden arteries.

  • VLDL Cholesterol: Made by the liver, VLDL is similar to LDL but carries triglycerides. High levels can narrow blood vessels.

  • Non-HDL Cholesterol: It's the difference between total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, reflecting bad cholesterol levels more accurately.

These are key measurements in a standard lipid profile, with some tests offering additional insights. Book lipid profile test in Agra with Dr. LalPathLabs.
