What is a Cholesterol Blood test?

A complete kit at home called a lipid profile has dual names. It is a kit using our equipment to measure the amount of fat and triglycerides in your blood. But, this check is the main part of a cardiovascular risk assessment. Or cardiovascular monitoring in cases of Pancreatitis or patients monitoring response to treatments.

The profile includes 5 BioMarkers:

• Total: the total amount of fat present in the blood.
• LDL: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is “bad” fat. High LDL levels raise your risk of stroke, heart attack and atherosclerosis.
• HDL: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is “good” fat as it helps eliminate LDL.
• Triglycerides: Triglycerides are the body’s form of fat storage. They are found in fatty tissues and circulate in the blood to fuel muscles to work.
• Total Fat/ HDL: this ratio of fat/ HDL is used to measure cardiovascular risk.
