A Lipid Profile measures various types of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood, providing insights into your heart health. It's crucial for assessing your risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Cholesterol is a fatty substance essential for cell function. The test measures total cholesterol, including both good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol.
HDL is responsible for transporting cholesterol from the peripheral tissues, including the arteries, back to the liver. This process is known as reverse cholesterol transport. By removing excess cholesterol from the arterial walls, HDL helps prevent the formation of plaques that can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries).
LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is "bad" cholesterol. Elevated levels can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.
Triglycerides are a type of fat. High levels may indicate increased heart disease risk, often linked to lifestyle factors like Poor diet and Lack of exercise
