About the Test
A Lipid Profile measures the fats in your blood, including total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and related ratios. Together these values show how well your body is handling fats and give a picture of your cardiovascular risk. Healthy levels support clear arteries, while raised LDL or triglycerides and low HDL can point to a higher chance of heart disease over time. It is used both for routine screening and for monitoring people managing cholesterol or heart risk.
What is it? A blood panel measuring cholesterol and triglycerides, also called a lipid panel, cholesterol panel, or fasting lipids.

Lipid Profile test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Lipid Profile test?
- Screen for cardiovascular risk as part of a routine adult health check

How to prepare for the Lipid Profile test
Fasting is usually recommended for an accurate lipid profile. Avoid food and drinks other than water for 9 to 12 hours before your sample. Continue your regular medication unless your doctor advises otherwise, and book a morning slot so fasting is easier.
Understanding your Lipid Profile results
Raised LDL, triglycerides, or a high total-to-HDL ratio suggests a higher cardiovascular risk, while a favourable HDL and in-range values are reassuring. Your ideal targets depend on your overall risk profile, so review results with a doctor. Doctor-reviewed BestDOC reports are typically ready in 1 day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp — we usually reply in three minutes.
Yes, in most cases. Fasting for 9 to 12 hours, with only water allowed, gives the most reliable triglyceride and LDL readings. Booking an early-morning home visit makes the overnight fast simple to manage.
LDL is often called the harmful cholesterol and HDL the protective type. Triglycerides are another blood fat, and the ratios help estimate heart risk. A doctor reads all eight values together rather than any single number.
Many healthy adults check every few years, while people with diabetes, high blood pressure, existing heart disease, or on cholesterol medication may test more often. Your doctor will advise the right interval for you.
Your doctor-reviewed report is typically available within 1 day and sent to your WhatsApp and email.
Generally yes. Continue routine medication with a sip of water unless your doctor has told you otherwise. Mention all medicines and supplements to the nurse, as some can influence lipid levels.
The lipid profile is AED 90, covering all eight measurements. Payment is self-pay in AED, since UAE home healthcare is not billed through insurance.
