Lipid Profile (R) Price in Bangladesh

What is Lipid Profile (R)?

A lipid profile (Random) measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood without the need for fasting. It includes total cholesterol, LDL (""bad"" cholesterol), HDL (""good"" cholesterol), and triglycerides.

This test helps assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, monitor lipid-lowering treatment, and identify conditions like dyslipidemia. While fasting is not required, it may affect the accuracy of triglyceride levels.

Risks are minimal, typically limited to slight discomfort during blood collection. Abnormal results, such as high LDL or low HDL, may prompt further investigation or lifestyle changes to reduce heart disease risk.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
