Description
A Lipid Profile (or Lipid Panel) is a blood test that measures the levels of specific lipids in your blood. Lipids are fats and fat-like substances that are important for cell function but, in high amounts, can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart attack and stroke. The test is commonly used to assess an individual's risk of developing heart disease.
