The Lipid Panel (Test Code 7600) from Quest Diagnostics is a simple blood test that measures the fats in your blood to assess your heart health. It looks at your total cholesterol, “good” HDL cholesterol, “bad” LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and VLDL cholesterol.
Why is it important?
This test helps you understand your risk for heart disease. By making small adjustments to your diet and incorporating the right nutrients, you can naturally improve your lipid levels and take control of your heart health.
How to prepare:
You may need to fast for 9-12 hours before the test (water is okay). Your healthcare provider will guide you if there’s anything else you need to do.
With the Lipid Panel, you’ll have the information you need to make healthier choices for your heart!
