Test Overview
Cardiovascular disease is the top cause of death for heart attacks and strokes, in asymptomatic people. Risk factors including age, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol are used by physicians to identify individuals likely to have an ischemic event & to evaluate cardiovascular risk. Lipid profile test measures total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, VLDL, LDL:Cholesterol ratio, HDL: Cholesterol ratio
A lipid profile is a group of blood tests. They determine the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. These are fatty acids in your blood. Your arteries can get blocked by unhealthy lipid levels. This raises your risk of coronary artery disease and stroke. Additionally, these can cause excessive weight gain.
In India, high cholesterol is a serious lifestyle illness. It is a sign of several deadly conditions. A waxy, fatty molecule called cholesterol is found in the blood. For vital processes like digestion, hormone synthesis, and vitamin D absorption, our body needs a certain quantity of cholesterol. However, if the levels rise above a particular point, it might develop into a chronic and inflammatory condition.
A lipid profile is a summary of the amount of good and bad fats that are present in your blood. Heart problems, diabetes, obesity, etc. are all associated with high cholesterol. A lipid profile must be performed on those who have certain illnesses or are more likely to develop them.
It may frequently be given as a component of a routine health checkup schedule. The probability of developing disorders linked to high cholesterol can be estimated using a lipid profile. Additionally, it is carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of a certain medication or treatment for lowering cholesterol, as well as lipid-lowering dietary modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Total blood cholesterol is a collective term involving estimation of LDL, HDL, VLDL and Triglycerides. Test results give a preliminary assessment of the individuals risk for heart disease, which guides further specific testing to reach a definitive diagnosis.
LDL Cholesterol
LDL Cholesterol carries cholesterol from the liver to the cell membrane where it’s used, and if excess it remains in the blood and accumulates on the walls of blood vessels, leading to blockage of blood. Hence LDL cholesterol is commonly called as the Bad Cholesterol and its important uphold optimal levels
HDL Cholesterol
HDL Cholesterol is termed as good cholesterol because it plays a critical role in removing the bad cholesterol from the blood thereby protecting you from cardiovascular diseases. A higher number is desirable.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are how your body stores fat and an elevated level is directly linked to heart disease.
Your doctor may order this test for you if he believes that you are under risk for elevated cholesterol. Your weight and BMI can give an indication for higher levels of cholesterol in blood. If you are obese or overweight, your doctor is most likely to get your lipids checked and monitored at regular intervals.
Cholesterol is a vital chemical present in the body and performs many functions such as coating the cells of the body-forming the cell membrane, producing certain components called bile acids which aid in digestion of fats. Additionally, it performs an imperative role in production of certain vital nutrients like vitamin D and sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone (steroid hormones).
Elevated levels of cholesterol indicate a risk for heart disease, atherosclerosis and stroke and hence estimating blood cholesterol levels is one of the most fundamental and critical test in routine screening and health checkup.
