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 Greater Noida. Lab: NABL-accredited. A fasting test and a long trip are a poor combination. The Lipid Profile requires a 10-hour fast, which means you are hungry from the moment you wake up, and in a spread-out city like Greater Noida the journey to a collection point can be a real part of that. It reports nine parameters from one serum sample. It is also in every full body package, starting with the Basic Full Body Checkup (77 parameters), and a package costs less than booking several panels separately. ## Taking the Journey Out of a Fasting Test Triglycerides rise for hours after a meal and by an unpredictable amount, so a sample taken after food can overstate them and skew values that are calculated from them. That is why the fast is 10 hours of plain water only, and why you cannot snack on the road to a lab and still have a valid result. Home collection removes the problem. A phlebotomist visits your address in Alpha 1, Gamma 2, Pari Chowk, Knowledge Park 3, Omega 1 or Greater Noida West, draws the sample while you are still fasting, and you can eat straight afterwards. For a student in a hostel without transport, or an elderly parent in a residential sector, this is the difference between doing the test and putting it off. Home visits are available, with any charge shown in the booking flow. ## What the 9 Parameters Report Cholesterol Total, Cholesterol - LDL, Cholesterol HDL, Cholesterol VLDL, Non-HDL cholesterol and Triglycerides are the primary values; Cholesterol LDL/Cholesterol HDL, Cholesterol Total/Cholesterol HDL Ratio and HDL/LDL Ratio express those figures as ratios. Non-HDL cholesterol is total cholesterol minus HDL, so it covers every particle able to deposit in artery walls. The AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol (2018) names non-HDL cholesterol a better predictor than LDL alone. ## For Families Who Moved Out for Space Many Greater Noida households moved from elsewhere in NCR and now travel further for routine things, health checks included. A baseline lipid report for the adults in the household, repeated when a doctor advises, is easier to keep up when it does not need a half-day out. Diabetes (around 101 million Indian adults, ICMR-INDIAB, 2023) and an underactive thyroid (roughly one in ten, Unnikrishnan et al., 2013) both alter lipids; the Full Body Checkup with Thyroid (80 parameters) covers the second. ## After the Report The report arrives digitally within 24 hours, with each parameter listed against its reference range and values outside it flagged. Because it is digital, a family member elsewhere in NCR can read it too and forward it to the treating doctor, so a Greater Noida patient does not have to travel just to show a result. If the numbers are borderline, doctors often repeat the test after a few weeks of lifestyle changes; a home visit makes that repeat as easy as the first draw. ## What This Profile Cannot Do It does not diagnose heart disease, and a normal result does not rule it out. Doctors combine lipid values with age, blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and family history. A single result is a snapshot; illness, weight loss or pregnancy can shift it. ## What Is Not Included No Apolipoprotein B, Apolipoprotein A1, Lipoprotein a, Homocysteine or high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein. These sit in the Cardiac Profile package, which supplements a Lipid Profile rather than replacing it. Also not included: glucose, HbA1c, thyroid, liver or kidney tests, 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.
