About This Test
A Lipid Panel, sometimes called a Cholesterol Panel, measures fats (lipids) circulating in your blood. It is one of the most commonly requested tests for general cardiovascular wellness screening.
What Does This Test Measure?
This panel typically reports total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides, each reported against reference ranges established by the performing laboratory.
Why Might This Test Be Ordered?
A Lipid Panel is commonly requested as part of routine wellness screening or heart health monitoring. LABTECH24 does not interpret these results as a diagnosis — your healthcare provider can advise on next steps.

Fasting for a period of time is often recommended before a Lipid Panel. Specific instructions will be confirmed during booking.
What to Expect During Collection
