What is a Lipid Panel Test?

A lipid panel test, also called a lipid profile, is a blood test that measures cholesterol through a variety of lipids, which are fatty substances that act as energy sources for your body. These include:

• High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL): the "good" cholesterol that fights against heart disease
• Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL): the bad cholesterol that clogs arteries
• Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL): another form of bad cholesterol; too much of this puts you at high risk of heart disease
• Total Cholesterol (T. CHOL): the total amount of cholesterol in your blood
