A Lipid Profile, also known as a Lipid Panel or Cholesterol Test, is a blood test that measures the levels of specific fats in the blood, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. This test helps assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases and can guide treatment decisions for conditions like hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.
