Lipid Profile Test – Complete Panel

A lipid profile test, also known as a lipid panel, is a blood test that measures the levels of various fats, including cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood. It is commonly used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Why check your Cholesterol levels?

Doctors in Kenya recommend the lipid profile test for a number of reasons, including:-

• Checkup and screen for the risk of cardiovascular disease. It helps in assessing the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, which are important factors in determining the risk of heart disease and stroke.
• Monitoring hypertension treatment
• Monitoring treatment with cholesterol-lowering drugs
• Screening and diagnosis of some liver and biliary system disorders
• Assessment of digestive disorders

• Fasting: Patients may need to fast for 9 to 12 hours before the test, drinking only water. This requirement may vary, so it’s important to follow the specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
• Tell the lab professional about any medicine you may be taking, including cholesterol-lowering drugs, herbs, vitamins, and supplements they are taking, as well as non-prescription medicines and illicit drugs.

The typical reference values for a cholesterol profile test include:

• Total cholesterol
• LDL (“bad”) cholesterol
• HDL (“good”) cholesterol
• Triglycerides
