A complete cholesterol test is a blood test that measures the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. There are two main types of cholesterol in the body - high-density cholesterol (HDL) or ‘good’ cholesterol, and low-density cholesterol (LDL) or ‘bad’ cholesterol.

Although a certain level of cholesterol in the body is essential, too much cholesterol can raise your risk of heart disease, stroke, and clogging or hardening of arteries. Hence, you should do a cholesterol test at a fixed interval to eliminate your heart disease risk.

What is included in the cost of Lipid profile test in Ahmedabad

The Lipid Profile Test includes the measurement of various lipid parameters in your blood. These parameters provide insights into your cardiovascular health and help assess your risk for conditions like heart disease. The components usually included in a standard Lipid Profile Test are:

Total Cholesterol: This measures the total amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both HDL and LDL cholesterol.

HDL Cholesterol: High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is often referred to as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood vessels.

LDL Cholesterol: Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol because it can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries.

Triglycerides: Triglycerides are a type of fat in your blood. Elevated triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

Non-HDL Cholesterol: This is calculated by subtracting HDL cholesterol from total cholesterol. It's considered a marker of the cholesterol particles that contribute to arterial plaque buildup.

The cost of the Lipid Profile Test in Ahmedabad might vary based on factors such as the diagnostic center, location, and any additional services provided along with the test. It's recommended to contact local diagnostic centers or labs in Ahmedabad to inquire about the specific components included in their lipid profile test and the associated cost.
