Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to fast for a lipid profile?
A: Yes, 10 to 12 hours of strict fasting is required for accurate triglyceride measurement and the Friedewald LDL calculation. Only plain water is permitted.
Q: What is LDL cholesterol?
A: LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is often called 'bad' cholesterol. High LDL contributes to arterial plaque buildup, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Q: What is HDL cholesterol?
A: HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is 'good' cholesterol that transports cholesterol from arteries back to the liver. Higher HDL is protective against cardiovascular disease.
Q: What does a high triglycerides level mean?
A: High triglycerides (>150 mg/dL) are associated with metabolic syndrome, obesity, alcohol intake, uncontrolled diabetes, and increased cardiovascular risk.
Q: Can I book a lipid profile test at home in Bangalore?
A: Yes. QXL offers free home collection for the lipid profile with strict cold-chain transport. Ensure 10–12 hours of fasting before your phlebotomist arrives.
