A Lipid Panel is a comprehensive blood test that measures various types of fats (lipids) in the blood to evaluate cardiovascular health and assess the risk of heart disease. This test measures total cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and triglycerides. The results help identify individuals at increased risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions. High levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, along with low HDL cholesterol, are major risk factors for atherosclerosis and heart disease. This test is commonly ordered as part of routine health screenings, when evaluating patients with cardiovascular symptoms, or when monitoring the effectiveness of cholesterol-lowering medications. Understanding lipid levels is crucial for preventive healthcare and can help guide lifestyle modifications and medical interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk.
Patient Prep
Patient should be on a stable diet, ideally for two to three weeks prior to collection of blood. Fasting is not necessary for this profile, however, fasting (12 to 14 hours preferred; eight hours acceptable) prior to collection of the specimen is recommended where the triglyceride value provides a prior diagnostic information such as screening for familial hypercholesterolemia or early onset heart disease, pancreatitis, or confirming hypertriglyceridemia.
Markers Included
Cholesterol, total; high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); triglycerides; very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation)
