Cholesterol and Lipid Panel Test

When it comes to heart health, measure what matters with this Cholesterol and Lipid Panel Test.

This cholesterol and lipid panel measures both LDL and HDL cholesterol levels to help you get a better picture of your heart health. 
 
Lipids are microscopic fatty substances (including cholesterol and triglycerides) within your body. Assessing them can reveal much about your overall health. For example, high levels of “bad” LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol can build up in the walls of your arteries, increasing your risk for heart disease. Conversely, high levels of “good” HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol can remove LDL cholesterol from your body, reducing your risk for heart disease. 
 
High cholesterol usually has no symptoms, meaning you may have high cholesterol without knowing it. Knowing your cholesterol numbers is the first step towards a healthy heart and healthy life.

What's Tested
Total Cholesterol

A measure of the total sum of cholesterol (LDL, HDL, and VLDL) in the body.

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) Cholesterol

Measures the amount of LDL in the blood, known as the “bad” cholesterol because LDL particles can build up in the walls of your arteries, which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) Cholesterol

Measures the amount of VLDL in blood, the cholesterol from particles that carry triglycerides in the body that are then converted to LDL. Elevated VLDL levels can increase your risk of heart disease.

HDL (high-density lipoprotein) Cholesterol

Measures the amount of HDL in the blood, known as "good" cholesterol because it comes from particles that remove "bad "cholesterol from the body, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Triglycerides

Measures the number of triglycerides in the blood, a type of fat that circulates in your blood and comes from adipose, the primary fat stored from food used to supply your energy. High triglyceride levels can increase the risk of heart disease.
