LIPID PROFILE COMPLETE
A complete lipid profile, also known as a lipid panel or cholesterol test, is a blood test that measures the levels of different types of lipids (fats) in your blood, including total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, triglycerides, and VLDL cholesterol.Here’s a breakdown of what a lipid profile measures and why it’s important:-
-
Purpose:To assess your risk of heart disease and stroke by measuring the levels of different types of fats in your blood.
-
-
Components:
- Total Cholesterol: The overall amount of cholesterol in your blood.
-
- LDL Cholesterol: “Bad” cholesterol that can build up in arteries, increasing heart disease risk.
-
- HDL Cholesterol: “Good” cholesterol that helps remove LDL from the blood.
-
- Triglycerides: A type of fat that the body uses for energy.
-
- VLDL Cholesterol: A type of lipoprotein that transports triglycerides.
-
-
Procedure:
- Fasting: You’ll usually need to fast for 9-12 hours before the test, consuming only water.
-
- Blood Draw: A blood sample is taken from a vein, usually in your arm.
-
-
Why it’s important:
- High levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
-
- Low levels of HDL cholesterol can also increase your risk.
-
- A lipid profile can help your doctor assess your risk and recommend appropriate interventions.

LIPID PROFILE EXTENDED
A lipid profile is a blood test that measures the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. It’s also known as a cholesterol test.Why get a lipid profile- To assess your risk of heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular disease
- To detect coronary artery disease
- To help determine if you have high cholesterol
What’s measured- Total cholesterol: The total amount of cholesterol in your blood
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol: Often called “good cholesterol” because it helps remove LDL from your blood
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol: Often called “bad cholesterol” because it can build up in your blood vessels
- Triglycerides: A type of fat in the body that comes from food and extra calories
Who should get a lipid profile- People with a family history of heart disease or stroke
- People who are at risk for heart disease
- People who are being treated for heart disease
- People above 45 years of age
- People above 65 years of age
How is the test performedA blood sample is drawn from a vein, usually located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.₹1,600.00Original price was: ₹1,600.00.₹1,400.00Current price is: ₹1,400.00. -

NT-PROBNP(NT-PRO BNP (N-TERMINAL PRO B TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE))
N-terminal precursor of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are released from myocardial cells in response to volume expansion and increased wall tension. They are well established rule-out tools for cardiac disease in unselected communities. NT-proBNP value <125 pg/mL excludes cardiac dysfunction with a high level of certainty in patients presenting with dyspnea. As the value increases heart failure becomes more likely. NT-proBNP levels are correlated with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classes for CHF. However, the role of natriuretic peptides extends beyond heart failure diagnosis; it is a clinical support tool in risk stratification & management in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Recent studies have shown that it can also be used for Cardiovascular risk assessment in asymptomatic patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

OMEGA 6/3 RATIO
-
-
Human Evolution:
It’s believed that humans evolved on a diet with a much lower omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, possibly around 1:1.
-
-
Western Diets:
Modern Western diets are typically much higher in omega-6 fatty acids, primarily due to increased consumption of processed foods, vegetable oils, and animal products.
-
Health Implications:
A high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is associated with increased risk of various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
-
Omega-3 Benefits:
Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, have anti-inflammatory properties and are important for brain health and development.
-
Balancing the Ratio:
To achieve a healthier ratio, individuals can focus on increasing their intake of omega-3s through foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, and potentially reducing their intake of omega-6 rich foods like processed foods, some vegetable oils, and certain meats.
-
Individual Variation:
The ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio can vary slightly between individuals and may be influenced by factors like age, genetics, and overall health status.
Further considerations:-
Focus on the whole diet:
While the ratio is important, it’s crucial to consider the overall dietary pattern and ensure a balanced intake of all essential nutrients.
-
Consult with a healthcare professional:For personalized advice on dietary changes and omega-3 supplementation, it’s recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian
