The Lipid Profile test measures blood fat, total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglycerides to evaluate cardiovascular risk. High LDL and triglycerides with low HDL increase heart disease and stroke risk. The test helps diagnose lipid disorders, monitor the effects of diet and medication, and guide prevention strategies. Fasting for 9-12 hours is often recommended for accuracy. It’s advised for adults with risk factors like obesity, diabetes, smoking, or a family history of heart disease. Early detection of abnormal lipid levels allows timely lifestyle and medical interventions to reduce cardiovascular complications. Redcliffe Labs offers home sample collection and reliable results to support heart health assessments and preventive care.
