COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC)

A Lipid Profile Test is a blood test used to measure the levels of fats and cholesterol in the body. It helps assess the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions. The test typically includes total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), triglycerides, and sometimes VLDL levels. High levels of LDL and triglycerides can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, while HDL helps protect the heart by removing excess cholesterol from the bloodstream. Doctors often recommend a lipid profile test for individuals with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking habits, or a family history of heart disease. Regular testing and early detection help maintain heart health through proper diet, exercise, and medical management.
