About the test
The Lipoprotein Phenotyping Profile is used to evaluate hyperlipidemia to determine abnormal lipoprotein distribution and concentration in the serum.
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. | — |
Reference ranges vary by lab, age, and sex (M/F). Your report shows your exact range. Click any biomarker to see its optimal range and what your results mean.
