High cholesterol is influenced by various
factors, including diet, physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, excessive
alcohol consumption, genetic predisposition, diabetes, thyroid disorders,
kidney problems, advancing age, and gender differences. Identifying and
understanding these risk factors are essential for effective prevention. A
Cholesterol (Lipid) Panel, which assesses LDL, HDL, and triglyceride levels,
plays a crucial role in diagnosis and management, particularly for individuals
with risk factors. Timely medical evaluation is vital for mitigating heart
disease risk and enhancing overall well-being.This panel measures the following lipids:

• Total cholesterol
• LDL (“”bad””) cholesterol
• HDL (“”good””) cholesterol
• Triglycerides
