Cholesterol TestCholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in all body cells. An optimal amount of cholesterol is essential for various bodily functions. However, too much cholesterol can build up in the blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, or other health problems.The Cholesterol - Total test measures the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, which is a combination of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol. It is usually recommended for individuals with risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, a family history of heart disease, or an unhealthy lifestyle. However, the total cholesterol test may also be done routinely for cardiovascular risk assessments and in individuals with symptoms or conditions suggestive of high cholesterol levels.The Cholesterol - Total test helps detect conditions like high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) or low cholesterol (hypolipidemia). Hyperlipidemia is a condition in which your blood contains excessive amounts of lipids and increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. The signs and symptoms may not be evident until a significant blockage or a heart event occurs. Hypolipidemia, while less common, is a condition where your blood does not contain enough lipids, potentially leading to issues with nerve function and an increased risk of infections.No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. Also, your doctor may suggest you stop taking certain medications, such as statins, beta-blockers, etc., a few days before this test, as these medicines could affect your test results.Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. The results will help them evaluate your medical condition, make diet, exercise, or medication recommendations, and formulate an overall treatment plan.

Insulin FastingInsulin helps the body's cells use blood sugar for energy. When cells do not respond well to insulin (called insulin resistance), the levels of blood sugar rise. The Insulin, Fasting test checks for abnormal blood sugar metabolism and insulin resistance. These problems are often seen in individuals with diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome (includes belly fat, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and cholesterol levels), and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).The Insulin, Fasting test is usually done with other glucose-related tests, such as fasting blood glucose or oral glucose tolerance tests. The doctor may advise this test following a low blood glucose test result and/or if you have low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) symptoms, such as:Profuse sweatingNervousness or anxietyIrritabilityConfusionDizzinessHungerFast heartbeat, etc.This test can also help detect insulinomas, which are insulin-producing pancreatic tumors.The Insulin, Fasting test is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, you may experience minimal discomfort or bruising at the blood draw site. You must fast for 8-12 hours (only drinking water is permitted). You should inform your doctor about all your medications, as some may impact the test results.

Lipids are waxy or fatty substances that are used by the body as a source of energy and to support essential functions. While they are vital for overall health, high lipid levels can contribute to heart disease. Lipid Profile is a standard blood test used to determine heart health and detect lipid disorders by measuring various key components, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, total cholesterol, etc.The Lipid Profile helps detect conditions like:Hyperlipidemia – refers to high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It can lead to fatty deposition (plaque) in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Symptoms usually do not manifest until a significant cardiovascular event happens.Hypolipidemia – refers to abnormally low lipid levels. It can potentially lead to issues with nerve function and an increased risk of infections.An overnight fasting for at least 8-12 hours is needed before getting tested. You should not eat or drink anything except water for 8–12 hours. Inform your doctor about all medications and any known medical conditions to ensure accurate test results.
