Complete Lipid Package

Tests Included in the Complete Lipid Profile Package

Total Cholesterol

Measures the total amount of cholesterol in the blood and provides an overall indicator of cardiovascular health.

Triglycerides (TG)

Measures the level of triglycerides, a type of fat the body uses for energy. Elevated triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders.

High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol

Often called “good cholesterol,” HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and reduces the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries.

Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol

Known as “bad cholesterol,” LDL can accumulate within artery walls, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.

Non-HDL Cholesterol

Measures all cholesterol carried by potentially harmful lipoproteins. It is considered an important marker for assessing cardiovascular risk, particularly in individuals with elevated triglyceride levels.

Cardiovascular Risk Ratios

Total Cholesterol / HDL Ratio

Evaluates the balance between total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. It is commonly used to estimate the overall risk of cardiovascular disease.

LDL / HDL Ratio

Assesses the relationship between LDL (“bad”) and HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Lower ratios are generally associated with better cardiovascular health.

Triglycerides / HDL (TG / HDL) Ratio

An important marker that may help assess insulin resistance and the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.

Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL)

VLDL carries triglycerides through the bloodstream. Elevated VLDL levels are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
