Lipid Profile / Cholesterol Test in Mandi Bahauddin
Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides — the standard test for heart-attack risk.
Why this test is done
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Pakistan and it usually announces itself late. A lipid profile puts a number on the risk: how much bad cholesterol (LDL) is circulating, how much protective HDL you have, and whether your triglycerides are pushed up by diet and inactivity. Every adult over 35, and every diabetic or hypertensive patient, should have it checked yearly.
What is included
- Total cholesterol
- LDL cholesterol
- HDL cholesterol
- Triglycerides
- VLDL and cholesterol/HDL ratio
How to prepare
Fasting: 12 hours fasting required
Sample: 3–5 ml blood in a gel (yellow-top) tube
Report time: Same day
Timings: 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM, seven days a week — no appointment required.
Bring your doctor's prescription and any previous reports of the same test. Comparing today's result with an older one is often more useful than the number on its own, so we keep your history on file and print the comparison where it helps.
