Lipid Profile + Glucose Fasting : Saving Combo in Kolkata

Lipid Profile + Glucose Fasting: Saving Combo in Kolkata

Test Overview

The Lipid Profile and Glucose Fasting combo package can help assess the well-being of your heart and other vital organs, including your nervous system. The Lipid Profile test measures various types of cholesterol in your body, including HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol), VLDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides, which helps you to understand your cardiovascular health. Notably, high levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides can increase the risk of developing heart disease whereas HDL cholesterol offers protection against it. On the other hand, the Glucose Fasting test is essential for detecting and managing diabetes or prediabetes. The test helps understand how well the body regulates blood sugar levels. By combining these tests you gain an understanding of your risk factors enabling you to manage your health and make well-informed decisions, about your lifestyle.

What Are The Tests Included In This Package?

Test 1: Lipid Profile

The test assesses cholesterol levels to determine the risk of heart disease and stroke.

• Total cholesterol: Measures the overall cholesterol content in the bloodstream, encompassing both HDL and LDL cholesterol
• Triglycerides - serum: Evaluates the level of circulating fats in the blood, indicating potential risk for cardiovascular disease when elevated
• HDL cholesterol - serum: Assesses the level of "good" cholesterol, which aids in removing "bad" cholesterol from the bloodstream, promoting heart health
• Non-HDL cholesterol: Calculated by subtracting HDL cholesterol from total cholesterol, providing an overview of overall cardiovascular risk
• LDL cholesterol: Measures the level of "bad" cholesterol, which can contribute to the formation of plaque in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease
• VLDL cholesterol: Assesses the level of very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, carrying triglycerides and contributing to plaque formation in arteries
• Chol / HDL ratio: Calculates the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol, offering a valuable indicator of cardiovascular risk

The range of lipid profile:

• Total Cholesterol: Less than 200 mg/dL
• LDL Cholesterol: Less than 100 mg/dL
• HDL Cholesterol: Male: Greater than 40 mg/dL; Female: Greater than 50 mg/dL
• Triglycerides: Less than 150 mg/dL

Test 2: Glucose Fasting

A fasting glucose test measures the blood glucose levels after an overnight fast (10 to 12 hours). The range may vary from 70 to 100 mg/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol/L). 

NOTE: Please note that the interpretation and bio reference ranges of the tests mentioned above can vary based on factors such as age, sex, specific parameters being analysed, and the laboratory's reference ranges.
