What it tests for
Parameters this test checks to identify common health risks
Blood lipids (Cardiovascular risk factor)
Lipid panel
Measures trygylcerides, high-density lipoprotein (also called "good cholesterol") and low-density lipoprotein (also called "bad cholesterol"). HDL is called "good" because it collects fatty acid in your blood vessels and brings them back to the liver for processing and removal. LDL is called "bad" because too much of it in can lead to a buildup of plaque in your arteries, putting you at risk of heart disease, diabetes, or stroke.
Hb1Ac (Diabetes indicator)
Hb1Ac (Diabetes indicator)
Reflects average blood sugar level for the past two to three months, indicator for diabetes risk.
