About the test
The Lipid Panel with Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, including total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. It is used to assess cardiovascular risk and guide management of lipid disorders.
Included biomarkers & Reference ranges
| Biomarker | Reference range |
|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol The combined measure of all cholesterol in your blood — HDL, LDL, and other lipoproteins together. A foundational marker of cardiovascular risk. | — |
| Triglycerides A type of fat in your blood used for energy storage. Elevated levels are linked to increased cardiovascular risk and often reflect diet, weight, or metabolic health. | — |
| Cholesterol, Very Low Density Lipoprotein Estimates very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, a triglyceride-rich particle, usually calculated from triglycerides in a standard lipid panel. | — |
| HDL Cholesterol The 'good' cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels are generally linked to lower cardiovascular risk. | — |
| LDL Cholesterol, Calculated The 'bad' cholesterol that can build up in artery walls. A core marker used to assess cardiovascular disease risk. | — |
| Total Cholesterol / HDL Ratio Compares your total cholesterol to your HDL ('good') cholesterol, offering a quick snapshot of cardiovascular risk balance. | — |
