Lipid Profile

A Lipid Profile is a blood test that measures the levels of specific fats in your blood to assess your risk of cardiovascular disease. It provides detailed information about different types of cholesterol and triglycerides, including:

1. Total Cholesterol – The overall amount of cholesterol in your blood.
2. LDL Cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein) – Often called "bad" cholesterol; high levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries.
3. HDL Cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein) – Known as "good" cholesterol; it helps remove LDL from the arteries.
4. Triglycerides – A type of fat used for energy; high levels are associated with increased risk of heart disease.
5. VLDL Cholesterol (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) – Another form of "bad" cholesterol, usually estimated based on triglyceride levels.

Doctors use the lipid profile to assess cardiovascular health and to guide dietary and lifestyle changes, medications, or other interventions to manage cholesterol levels.
