Introduction Lipid panel

Lipid simply means fat or cholesterol in general. 

But lipid profile contains multiple parameters viz. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein.

These all parameters have their own reference range and own function in our body. 

Now we will discuss each of the above aprameter individually.

Parameters that are measuted in lipid profile

Here are the parameters measured in Lipid profile

1. Total cholesterol
2. triglycerides
3. high density lipoprotein
4. low density lipoprotein
5. very low density lipoprotein
