Lipidogram (CHOL, HDL, NON-HDL, LDL, TG) – lipid profile

• The material for testing is blood.
• The patient does not need to fast. It is recommended to drink a glass of water approximately 30 minutes before the examination.

Before blood sampling, avoid consuming excessive amounts of fat and do not take cholesterol-lowering medications unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Blood samples for routine lipid profile testing do not need to be collected on an empty stomach.
If triglyceride levels > 400 mg/dl are measured without fasting, the test should be repeated on an empty stomach.

Fats are transported in the blood bound to proteins (lipoproteins). LDL - low-density lipoproteins.
The importance of the study: assessment of the risk of atherosclerosis and its consequences, such as stroke
and myocardial infarction. To monitor treatment with cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Abnormal values: in overweight people, type II diabetes, alcohol abusers,
in hypertension, familial tendency to high LDL values, in women the protective effect of estrogens.
An essential component of the cell membrane.
It is a component of some hormones and bile acids. It is a component of gallstones. It is produced primarily in the liver.
It accumulates on vessel walls, causing atherosclerosis. In the blood, it is found as HDL and LDL cholesterol.
Importance of the examination: assessment of fat metabolism, assessment of the risk of atherosclerosis, analysis of the composition of gallstones (deposit examination).

Ordering a test means consent to its performance using the spectrophotometric method.
