What is a lipid profile?

A lipid profile is a group of laboratory tests used to measure the main lipids present in the blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides.

The Corilab Lipid Profile Check-up combines some of the main lipid profile markers in a single package. These tests are useful for monitoring blood lipid levels and as part of an overall cardiovascular risk assessment.

Blood lipid levels can be influenced by various individual and lifestyle factors. The results should therefore be interpreted in the context of the individual’s overall clinical picture.

This check-up includes

Total Cholesterol

HDL Cholesterol

LDL Cholesterol

Triglycerides

How to prepare for your check-up

Before having your blood sample taken, you should fast for 8–12 hours. Alcohol, sugar and coffee may affect the reliability of the results. As smoking may also influence the results, patients are advised not to smoke between waking up and having their blood taken. Only small amounts of water (one or two glasses) are permitted.

Diet

In the days leading up to the blood test, continue to follow your usual diet. The purpose of the tests is to assess the levels and characteristics of metabolites normally present in the body. Excessive food intake or a restrictive diet may affect both the laboratory results and their clinical interpretation.

Medication

Unless otherwise instructed by a doctor, patients should have their blood sample taken before taking any medication.
