A lipid profile test is a collection of blood tests that measure the amounts of various lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It can help determine risks for developing cardiovascular diseases, certain forms of pancreatitis, etc. Lipid disorders are usually asymptomatic and manifest after years with cardiac problems. In extreme and rare cases, lipid disorders may cause yellowish, fatty lumps or yellow wrinkles on the skin due to the build-up of fatty deposits around tendons and joints (xanthomas).
The Diabetes and Lipid Profile test package is recommended for people who are at higher risk of developing diabetes and lipid disorders and for people undergoing diabetes treatment.
