Service Providers for Lipid Profile (R)
A lipid profile (Random) measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood without the need for fasting. It includes total cholesterol, LDL (""bad"" cholesterol), HDL (""good"" cholesterol), and triglycerides. This test helps assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, monitor lipid-lowering treatment, and identify conditions like dyslipidemia. While fasting is not required, it may affect the accuracy of triglyceride levels. Risks are minimal, typically limited to slight discomfort during blood collection. Abnormal results, such as high LDL or low HDL, may prompt further investigation or lifestyle changes to reduce heart disease risk.
