Useful for routine cholesterol screening and follow-ups when prescribed by your clinician.
What’s Included in Lipid Profile (10 Parameters)
| Parameter | Why it matters (brief) |
|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol | Overall cholesterol level; interpreted with other lipid values. |
| HDL Cholesterol (Direct) | Often called “good” cholesterol; part of cardiovascular risk assessment. |
| LDL Cholesterol (Direct) | Often called “bad” cholesterol; clinicians may track it closely. |
| Triglycerides | Blood fat level; can be affected by diet, fasting, and metabolic factors. |
| VLDL Cholesterol | Related to triglyceride transport in the blood. |
| Non-HDL Cholesterol | Represents cholesterol carried by potentially atherogenic lipoproteins. |
| LDL/HDL Ratio | Ratio used in risk interpretation along with clinical context. |
| TC/HDL Ratio | Commonly used ratio to support lipid interpretation. |
| HDL/Non-HDL Ratio | Additional ratio to support overall lipid assessment. |
Who should consider a Lipid Profile test?
- Routine preventive health checkups (as advised by your doctor).
- People with family history of cardiovascular disease or high cholesterol.
- Follow-up monitoring for diet/lifestyle changes or doctor-prescribed therapy.
- Individuals with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or sedentary lifestyle (doctor-advised).
This test does not diagnose disease by itself; it supports clinical decision-making.

FAQs – Lipid Profile Test
Is fasting required for a Lipid Profile test?
Yes, fasting for 10–12 hours is commonly recommended, especially for accurate triglyceride measurement. Water is usually allowed unless your clinician advises otherwise.
What does a Lipid Profile measure?
This panel measures Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, Triglycerides, plus calculated ratios such as LDL/HDL and TC/HDL to support clinical interpretation.
How soon will I receive the report?
Reports are typically available within 12–36 hours after sample collection. Timelines can vary depending on city logistics and processing workload.
Can I take medicines before the test?
In general, you should continue prescribed medicines unless your doctor specifically instructs otherwise. If you’re on lipid-lowering therapy, your clinician may interpret results in that context.
Does an abnormal lipid result confirm heart disease?
No. Lipid values are risk markers and must be interpreted with your medical history, blood pressure, diabetes status, lifestyle factors, and clinician evaluation.
