The Lipid Panel is a blood test that evaluates key cholesterol and fat levels in the blood to help assess cardiovascular health and heart disease risk. It provides insight into how cholesterol is transported and balanced in the body.
This panel is commonly ordered for routine wellness screening, cardiovascular risk assessment, and monitoring response to lifestyle changes or lipid-lowering therapy. Results are interpreted together to better understand overall heart health.
The panel includes 5 tests:
Total Cholesterol: Measures overall cholesterol levels
Triglycerides: Evaluates circulating fats linked to cardiovascular risk
HDL Cholesterol: “Good” cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol
LDL Cholesterol (calculated): “Bad” cholesterol associated with plaque buildup
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: Assesses cholesterol balance and cardiovascular risk
