What This Lipid Profile Includes

- Triglycerides: A type of fat found in the blood
- Cholesterol / HDL Ratio: A calculated heart health-related ratio

Specific included markers may vary by lab, so always review your final lab order and result report.

- Monitoring medication response under provider guidance
- Family history of heart disease
- Diabetes, prediabetes or metabolic health concerns
Understanding Cholesterol Markers
Cholesterol and triglycerides are fats that travel through the blood.
- LDL cholesterol: Often called “bad” cholesterol because high levels may contribute to plaque buildup in arteries
- HDL cholesterol: Often called “good” cholesterol because it helps remove cholesterol from the bloodstream
- Triglycerides: Blood fats that may increase with diet, alcohol intake, insulin resistance, diabetes or other factors
- Total cholesterol: A combined measure of cholesterol in the blood
Your healthcare provider can help interpret your results based on age, blood pressure, diabetes status, smoking history, family history and other risk factors.
Important Fasting Instructions
Some lipid panels can be performed fasting or non-fasting, but fasting may be preferred when triglycerides or calculated LDL cholesterol are being evaluated.
If fasting is required, you may be instructed to have no food or drinks other than water for 9 to 12 hours before testing.
Follow the instructions on your lab order or from your healthcare provider. Drink water before your blood draw to help prevent dehydration.
Important: Cholesterol Results Need Context
Lipid profile results should be interpreted with your overall health history and cardiovascular risk factors.
A healthcare provider may consider your age, sex, blood pressure, diabetes status, smoking status, family history, kidney function and other labs before recommending treatment or lifestyle changes.
Do not start, stop or change medication based only on this test result without provider guidance.
Important Health Warning
If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness, one-sided numbness, severe headache, confusion, fainting or symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Do not use this test as a substitute for urgent medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment.
Screening and Lab Access Only
LabReqs and SchoolTiters provide access to lab testing. We do not diagnose heart disease, prescribe medication, adjust cholesterol medication or manage cardiovascular treatment.
This test may provide useful heart health-related lab information, but results should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider, especially if results are abnormal or treatment decisions are being considered.
Important Limitations
- This test measures lipid markers only.
- This test does not include glucose, A1C, CRP, ApoB, Lipoprotein(a), insulin or other heart risk markers unless ordered separately.
- LDL may be calculated rather than directly measured depending on the lab and triglyceride level.
- Recent meals, alcohol, illness, medications and supplements may affect results.
- Abnormal results may require repeat testing or additional evaluation.
- Normal cholesterol results do not rule out all heart or blood vessel disease risk.
- Do not start, stop or change medication based only on this result.
Before Ordering
- Confirm that you need a lipid profile or lipid panel.
- Ask whether fasting is required before testing.
- Tell your provider about cholesterol medication, diabetes medication, supplements, alcohol use and medical history.
- If you need advanced heart risk testing, ask whether ApoB, Lipoprotein(a), CRP or other markers should also be ordered.
- If your result is abnormal, review it with a licensed healthcare provider.
