Lipid Profile

A Lipid Profile measures total cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol), VLDL and triglycerides. It is the standard blood test for assessing heart-attack and stroke risk and for guiding cholesterol-lowering treatment.

The Lipid Profile helps detect and monitor conditions including High cholesterol (hyperlipidaemia), High triglycerides, Cardiovascular disease risk, Atherosclerosis risk, Metabolic syndrome.

Fasting 8–10 hours required

Total cholesterol: < 200 mg/dL desirable LDL (bad) cholesterol: < 100 mg/dL optimal HDL (good) cholesterol: > 40 mg/dL (men), > 50 (women) Triglycerides: < 150 mg/dL normal Note: reference ranges may vary by laboratory and should be interpreted by your doctor in the context of your overall health.

The Lipid Profile is available at ₹599 on PingMeDoc™ with free home sample collection. Prices are inclusive of sample collection charges.

A high total cholesterol is associated with a higher long-term risk of heart disease. A high HDL (‘good’) cholesterol is generally considered protective for the heart. A high LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol is associated with a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. These are general associations, not a diagnosis, discuss your report with your doctor.

A low total cholesterol is usually not a concern and is occasionally seen with certain illnesses. A low HDL cholesterol is associated with a higher risk of heart disease. A low LDL cholesterol is generally considered favourable for heart health. A result outside the reference range should always be interpreted by your doctor in context.

Triglycerides rise sharply after a meal, so a 9–12 hour overnight fast gives the most accurate triglyceride and calculated LDL values. Water is allowed; avoid tea, coffee and alcohol during the fast.

VLDL is a 'bad' cholesterol — it carries triglycerides in the blood and, like LDL, contributes to plaque build-up in arteries. Lower levels are better; it is usually estimated as one-fifth of your triglyceride value.

A diet low in saturated fat and refined carbs, more fibre, regular exercise, weight loss, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol all help. If lifestyle changes aren't enough, your doctor may add medication — recheck levels after 8–12 weeks.
