Research Notes on Lipid Profile
A lipid profile is a series of cholesterol blood tests that analyzes how an individual's body uses, changes, or stores lipids.1 It is helpful in diagnosing the risks of a person developing heart disease. The test can also help medical professionals decide on a course of action to treat heart disease developing risk factors.
Fast Facts:
- Fasting for about 12 hours is required prior to having a lipid profile.
- Includes total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides.1
