In a lot of Delhi families the lipid profile is booked by one generation for another: a son or daughter arranging a cholesterol check for a parent who is on tablets or has just been told to start them. The Lipid Profile reports 9 parameters from one serum sample, namely Cholesterol Total, Cholesterol - LDL, Cholesterol HDL, Cholesterol VLDL, Non-HDL cholesterol, Triglycerides and three ratios, and it needs a 10-hour fast. For an older person, a morning draw at home is far easier than travelling to a centre hungry. Processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory, digital reports in 24 hours, from 390. Home sample collection is available across Delhi, including Rohini, Dwarka, Janakpuri, Lajpat Nagar, Saket, Mayur Vihar and Pitampura. Any collection charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm.

The Lipid Profile Explained for Delhi Households

At a Glance

Profile: Lipid Profile. Tests: 9 parameters. Price: From 390. Fasting: 10 hours required. Sample: Serum. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Available across Delhi. Lab: NABL-accredited. In many Delhi homes the person who needs this test is a parent or grandparent, and the person booking it is an adult child. The Lipid Profile reports nine parameters from one serum sample and needs a 10-hour fast. It is also part of every full body package, starting with the Basic Full Body Checkup (77 parameters); when a family is arranging several panels for the same relative, a package costs less than separate bookings. ## What a Lipid Profile Tells a Doctor Cholesterol Total, Cholesterol - LDL, Cholesterol HDL, Cholesterol VLDL, Non-HDL cholesterol and Triglycerides form the core. LDL is the fraction most associated with deposits in artery walls, HDL is the fraction that carries cholesterol away, and VLDL tracks closely with triglycerides. Non-HDL cholesterol is total cholesterol minus HDL, a figure that captures every deposit-forming particle at once. The AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol (2018) found non-HDL cholesterol a better predictor of risk than LDL alone. Three further values, Cholesterol LDL/Cholesterol HDL, Cholesterol Total/Cholesterol HDL Ratio and HDL/LDL Ratio, express the same readings as ratios. ## Fasting for an Older Relative The fast is required because triglycerides rise for hours after eating and the size of the rise is unpredictable; a post-meal sample can overstate them and distort values that are calculated from them. Ten hours means plain water only. For someone in their seventies, a long fast is not trivial, so plan it sensibly: an early light dinner, a morning draw at home, and breakfast ready immediately afterwards. Anyone on diabetes medicines or insulin should ask their doctor how to adjust doses around a fast before booking, because skipping food while taking tablets can cause low blood sugar. Home collection suits this well. A phlebotomist visiting Lajpat Nagar, Rohini or Vikaspuri spares a fasting elder the journey to a centre. ## Winter, Smog and Fewer Walks From October to January many Delhi residents cut back on outdoor walks when the air is poor, and the evening round of the colony park is the first thing to go. Less activity is a lifestyle factor your doctor will weigh next to the numbers. No test here measures the effect of air quality; the profile reports what is in the blood, nothing more. Repeating the test after a stretch of reduced activity gives a useful reference point. ## Conditions That Move the Numbers Diabetes, present in around 101 million Indian adults (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023), and an underactive thyroid, which affects roughly one in ten (Unnikrishnan et al., 2013), both alter lipids. High LDL without an obvious cause often leads a doctor to check TSH. The Full Body Checkup with Thyroid (80 parameters) combines the two. ## Repeating It Over Time Once treatment starts, a Lipid Profile is usually repeated every few months. The fasting duration does not need to be identical each time, but the sample must always be fasted, otherwise a falling or rising triglyceride trend is hard to trust. Keep each report and bring the set to your doctor. ## What This Profile Cannot Do It does not diagnose heart disease, and a normal result does not exclude it. Doctors combine lipid values with age, blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and family history. Results also vary from one day to the next, and acute illness, recent weight loss or pregnancy can change them, so a single reading is a snapshot. ## What Is Not Included No Apolipoprotein B, Apolipoprotein A1, Lipoprotein a, Homocysteine or high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein; the Cardiac Profile package carries these advanced markers and is meant to supplement a Lipid Profile, not replace it. Also excluded: blood glucose, HbA1c, thyroid tests, liver and kidney function, an ECG, a stress test and a troponin. Each is a separate order. ## Sources American College of Cardiology / American Heart Association, Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol, 2018 · Anjana RM, Mohan V, et al.

Who Should Book a Lipid Profile in Delhi?

  • Parents and grandparents who take or are about to start cholesterol medicine – Older adults on statins or similar tablets need repeat lipid profiles, usually every few months at first and yearly once stable. A fasting draw at home spares them a hungry journey across the city. The report lists all 9 parameters with reference ranges, so the family can send it straight to the treating doctor, including a relative in another city.
  • Adults who have not had a cholesterol check in over a year – A yearly lipid profile is commonly advised from the mid-thirties onwards and earlier with a family history of heart attack or stroke. If the last report is gone or more than twelve months old, this is the panel to book. It needs a 10-hour fast, so a morning slot works best.
  • People with diabetes in the family or in themselves – Diabetes affects around 101 million Indian adults (ICMR-INDIAB, Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2023), and it often comes with raised triglycerides and low HDL. Doctors check lipids at diagnosis and then regularly. This profile covers the cholesterol side; glucose and HbA1c are separate and sit with it in the full body packages.
  • Anyone who has become less active over the winter months – When smog keeps people indoors from October to January, daily walks tend to stop. That is a lifestyle change your doctor will want to see against the numbers. A lipid profile before and after the season gives a clear comparison for your own record. The test measures blood lipids only, not air-quality effects.
  • People whose cholesterol is high without an obvious cause – An underactive thyroid affects roughly one in ten Indian adults (Unnikrishnan et al., Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013) and can raise LDL. If diet and activity do not explain the figures, a doctor may add a thyroid test; the Full Body Checkup with Thyroid (80 parameters) includes both.
  • Families who would rather test several members in one visit – A joint household can book the Lipid Profile for each adult in the same morning slot, since all will be fasting anyway. If more than the lipid panel is wanted, the Basic Full Body Checkup (77 parameters) includes it with blood count, liver, kidney, urine and glucose, and a package costs less than booking those panels separately. The AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol (2018) favours non-HDL cholesterol over LDL alone for risk, and this profile reports it.

How to Prepare

Fasting: 10 hours required, plain water only. For an older relative, an early light dinner and a morning draw keep the fast comfortable, with breakfast ready straight after. Sample: A single venous blood draw; serum is analysed. All 9 parameters run from that one sample. Medications: Continue prescribed medicines unless the doctor says otherwise, and mention any cholesterol-lowering tablet when booking. For anyone on diabetes medicines or insulin, ask the treating doctor how to take them during a fast before the day. The evening before: Avoid alcohol and a very heavy, fatty dinner; both raise triglycerides. Recent illness: Cholesterol can read lower than usual during and just after a significant illness. Mention anything recent. Repeat testing: Always fasted, so that trends from one report to the next mean something. Home collection: Available across Delhi, including Rohini, Pitampura, Dwarka, Janakpuri, Vikaspuri, Rajouri Garden, Lajpat Nagar, Saket, Hauz Khas, Mayur Vihar, Preet Vihar, Karol Bagh and Model Town. Any charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm. Reports: Digital within 24 hours, all 9 parameters with reference ranges and abnormal values flagged.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Lipid Profile in Delhi

What does the Lipid Profile include?

The Lipid Profile has 9 parameters from one serum sample: Cholesterol Total, Cholesterol - LDL, Cholesterol HDL, Cholesterol VLDL, Non-HDL cholesterol, Triglycerides, Cholesterol LDL/Cholesterol HDL, Cholesterol Total/Cholesterol HDL Ratio and HDL/LDL Ratio. It requires a 10-hour fast and the digital report comes within 24 hours from a NABL-accredited laboratory.

How much is a lipid profile test in Delhi?

It starts from 390. Home sample collection is available across Delhi, with any collection charge shown in the booking flow before you confirm. Digital reports are included, and you can book online or on WhatsApp.

Why is a 10-hour fast needed for a cholesterol test?

Triglycerides rise for hours after a meal and by an unpredictable amount, and some values on the report are calculated from the triglyceride figure. Fasting gives the baseline doctors rely on. A non-fasting sample may show triglycerides that reflect the last meal rather than your usual level.

My father is on diabetes tablets. Is it safe for him to fast for a lipid profile?

Ask his doctor before the day. Skipping food while taking diabetes tablets or insulin can cause low blood sugar, so the doctor may adjust timing or doses. Keep the fast to 10 hours rather than longer, book the earliest morning slot, and have breakfast and his medicines ready for straight after the draw.

Can an elderly person have the lipid sample taken at home?

Yes. A phlebotomist collects the sample at your address in Delhi, so a fasting parent or grandparent does not have to travel. Mention at booking if the person has limited mobility, a tremor or fragile veins so the visit can be planned for them. Any collection charge appears in the booking flow.

What is the difference between LDL and Non-HDL cholesterol?

LDL is one cholesterol-carrying particle type. Non-HDL cholesterol is total cholesterol minus HDL, so it includes LDL, VLDL and other deposit-forming particles. The AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol (2018) identifies non-HDL as a better predictor of risk than LDL alone. Both are reported in this profile.

If the lipid profile is normal, can my parent stop worrying about the heart?

Not entirely. A normal profile is reassuring about one risk factor only. Heart disease risk also depends on blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, age and family history, and this profile has no ECG or stress test. A single reading is also a snapshot that can change from week to week.

Which full body packages include the Lipid Profile?

Every full body package includes it, starting with the Basic Full Body Checkup at 77 parameters. The Full Body Checkup with Thyroid (80 parameters) adds the Thyroid Profile. If a family wants lipids plus blood count, liver, kidney, urine and glucose, a package costs less than booking each panel separately.

Is the Cardiac Profile package the same as a lipid profile?

No. The Cardiac Profile package has Apolipoprotein B, Apolipoprotein A1, Lipoprotein a, Homocysteine and high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein. It does not contain cholesterol or triglycerides. It supplements a Lipid Profile by adding advanced risk markers and does not replace it.

Which Delhi areas does home collection cover?

Collection is available across Delhi, including Rohini, Pitampura, Dwarka, Janakpuri, Vikaspuri, Rajouri Garden, Punjabi Bagh, Lajpat Nagar, Saket, Greater Kailash, Hauz Khas, Mayur Vihar, Preet Vihar, Karol Bagh and Model Town. Any charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm.

When will I get the report?

Digital reports arrive within 24 hours of collection, with all 9 parameters listed against reference ranges and abnormal values flagged. The file can be shared with a doctor or a family member living elsewhere.

Is the testing laboratory NABL-accredited?

Yes. Samples are processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel; it is not a company-wide certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold it.

Does the smog season affect my lipid profile result?

No test in this profile measures air-quality effects. What winter can change is behaviour: many people walk less from October to January, and lower activity is something your doctor considers alongside the numbers. If you expect to be less active, a lipid profile before and after the season gives a useful comparison. Always fast for it.

Can several family members be tested at the same visit in Delhi?

Yes. Add each person at booking and choose one slot. Everyone will be fasting, so a single early-morning visit works well for a household. Each person receives a separate report. If more than the lipid panel is needed, a full body package starting with the Basic Full Body Checkup costs less than separate panels.
