Lipid Panel

A lipid panel is a blood test that measures the levels of various fats (lipids) in the bloodstream. It is used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke). 

High levels of LDL cholesterol, low levels of HDL cholesterol, and high levels of triglycerides can indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to interpret the results of a lipid panel and discuss appropriate treatment options
