The Advanced Lipid Profile is a comprehensive diagnostic test that goes beyond standard cholesterol testing to provide a detailed assessment of lipid levels and cardiovascular risk factors. This profile includes a range of lipid markers and apolipoproteins essential for evaluating lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health.

Tests Included:

1. Total Cholesterol

   • Measures the total amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both HDL and LDL cholesterol.

2. Triglycerides

   • Measures the amount of triglycerides, a type of fat found in the blood, which can increase cardiovascular risk when elevated.

3. HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol

   • Often referred to as “good” cholesterol, HDL cholesterol helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease.

4. LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol

   • Known as “bad” cholesterol, LDL cholesterol can build up in the arteries and increase the risk of heart disease.

5. VLDL (Very-Low-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol

   • Contains the highest amount of triglycerides and contributes to the formation of plaques in the arteries.

6. Cholesterol/HDL Ratio

   • Calculated by dividing total cholesterol by HDL cholesterol. A higher ratio indicates a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

7. LDL/HDL Ratio

   • Calculated by dividing LDL cholesterol by HDL cholesterol. It provides additional insights into cardiovascular risk.

8. Apolipoprotein A1

   • The major protein component of HDL particles, involved in reverse cholesterol transport and cardiovascular protection.

9. Apolipoprotein B

   • The main protein component of LDL and VLDL particles, responsible for transporting cholesterol to tissues and contributing to atherosclerosis.

10. Apolipoprotein B/A1 Ratio

    • Calculated by dividing Apolipoprotein B by Apolipoprotein A1. It reflects the balance between atherogenic and protective lipoproteins.

11. Lipoprotein A

    • A type of lipoprotein similar to LDL but with an additional protein called apolipoprotein(a). Elevated levels are associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
