Lipids are fats that are important constituents of cells and sources of energy. They are necessary for life, but abnormal levels may cause -cardiovascular disease[1]. A lipid profile measures the level of specific lipids in the blood.

Two types of lipids, cholesterol and triglycerides, are transported in the blood by particles called “lipoproteins”. Each particle contains a combination of protein, cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipid molecules. Lipoprotein particles are classified according to their density into high-density lipoproteins (HDL), intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). Not all of these are measured as part of a routine lipid profile.

A lipid profile typically includes:
