Description
A lipid profile test (also called lipid panel test) is a blood test that checks the levels of fat-like substances, called lipids, in blood. If you have too many lipids in the blood, they can stick to the artery walls and cause them to narrow. This may raise your risk of heart disease. A lipid panel is a common blood test that healthcare providers use to monitor and screen for your risk of cardiovascular disease. The panel includes three measurements of your cholesterol levels and a measurement of your triglycerides. The LDL measurement is usually considered the most important for assessing risk and deciding on treatment. The definition of a healthy level keeps on getting lower.
