Heart is one of the most important part of the human body which supplies blood to all parts of the body. However due to our lifestyle habits the cholesterol gets accumlated in the blood and blocks the arteries. A simple lipid profile test tells you how much cholesterol is their in your blood. It detects the risk of artery blockages, which can lead to conditions like atherosclerosis and heart disease. High cholesterol levels are associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular problems. It’s a valuable tool to identify an individual’s risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular conditions. The results help healthcare providers in managing heart health and making appropriate lifestyle and treatment recommendations.

2 HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) – Males - Above 60 mg/dL

4 Triglycerides – Males - Below 100 mg/dL
5 Triglycerides – Females - Below 150 mg/dL
