Lipid Profile Test in Varanasi

What Is a Lipid Profile Test in Varanasi?

A lipid profile test in Varanasi is a blood test that measures different types of fats (lipids) in your blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. These values help your doctor understand your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, or blocked arteries.

The test measures good cholesterol (HDL), bad cholesterol (LDL and VLDL), and triglycerides. A balance between these is essential for healthy heart and blood vessel function.

The sample is collected after an overnight fast to ensure accurate readings.

What Does a Lipid Profile Test Measure in Varanasi?

The lipid profile test in Varanasi evaluates eight key lipid parameters that together indicate your cardiovascular health:

• Total Cholesterol: Measures overall cholesterol in your blood.
• LDL Cholesterol (Bad Cholesterol): High levels increase the risk of artery blockage.
• HDL Cholesterol (Good Cholesterol): Helps remove excess cholesterol from arteries.
• Triglycerides: Measure fat storage and energy use; high levels can increase heart risk.
• VLDL Cholesterol: Carries triglycerides in your blood.
• Non-HDL Cholesterol: Includes all “bad” cholesterol types (LDL + VLDL).
• LDL/HDL Ratio: Compares bad to good cholesterol, indicating balance.
• Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: Reflects overall heart disease risk.

Who Should Consider a Lipid Profile Test?

• Have a family history of heart disease or stroke
• Have high blood pressure, diabetes, orobesity
• Lead a sedentary lifestyle or have poor dietary habits
• Smoke or consume alcohol regularly
• Are on cholesterol-lowering medicines and need monitoring
• Are above 35 years old and doing a preventive health check-up

What Is the Purpose of a Lipid Profile Test?

The lipid profile test in Varanasi helps detect abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels early. It is vital for preventing cardiovascular diseases, guiding treatment plans, and tracking how well lifestyle or medication changes are working.
