Blood Test

A lipid profile is a blood test that measures the amount of cholesterol and fats called triglycerides in the blood. These measurements give the doctor a quick snapshot of what’s going on in your blood. Cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood can clog arteries, making you more likely to develop heart disease.

Do I need to fast for a lipid panel?
In most cases, you need to fast for 10 to12 hours before your lipid panel blood test. Fasting means not eating or drinking anything except water
