FAQ
-
What is a lipid panel test?
A lipid profile will measure different fat molecules (lipids) in the blood, including:
- Total cholesterol
- HDL cholesterol
- LDL cholesterol
- Triglycerides
Lipids have vital functions in the body, like:
- Making cell membranes flexible
- Producing hormones
- Absorbing vitamins
- Storing energy
However, too many or too few lipids in the blood can impact your health and lead to complications.
-
What is included in a lipid panel test?
A basic lipid panel will usually include all types of fat molecules; those that are considered "bad," like:
- Total cholesterol
- LDL cholesterol
- VLDL cholesterol
- Triglycerides
HDL cholesterol, considered a "good fat", is also an important part of a lipid panel. Ratios between these markers are measured to understand your lipid profile better.
-
What does a lipid panel test for?
A lipid profile may help evaluate excess or deficiencies of lipids in the blood and the need for dietary interventions or medications for a specific health condition. It can help identify risk factors for conditions such as:
- High blood pressure
- Atherosclerosis
- Insulin resistance
- Coronary artery disease
-
Does a lipid panel require fasting?
Yes. To get the most accurate result for a lipid panel test, fast for at least 8-12 hours before the test.
