Description

Unipath Diagnostics offers a Lipid Profile Test as part of its diagnostic services, providing an assessment of cholesterol and lipid levels in the blood. The test helps to evaluate cardiovascular risk, monitor lipid disorders, and detect potential health problems related to cholesterol. The Lipid Profile Test offered by Unipath Diagnostics likely includes the following parameters: Total Cholesterol: Measures the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood, both HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol). LDL Cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein): Known as "bad" cholesterol, higher levels of LDL cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease. HDL Cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein): Known as "good" cholesterol, HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and reduces the risk of heart disease. Triglycerides: Elevated levels of triglycerides in the blood are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. VLDL Cholesterol (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein): It is a type of "bad" cholesterol that carries triglycerides in the blood and can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries.
