Lipid – Profile
The Lipid Profile is a key diagnostic panel used to assess cardiovascular health by measuring various types of fats in the bloodstream. This test helps evaluate the risk of heart disease, monitor lipid-lowering treatments, and guide lifestyle or dietary recommendations.
Key Tests Included
- Urea
Measures the amount of waste product in the blood and helps assess how effectively the kidneys are functioning.
- Creatinine
A crucial marker of kidney filtration efficiency and overall renal health.
- Uric Acid
Helps identify metabolic imbalances and conditions such as gout, which may be linked to kidney performance.
- Calcium
Important for bone health and also plays a role in kidney and metabolic regulation.
- Phosphate
Works alongside calcium to support bone strength and energy metabolism; imbalances can indicate kidney issues.
- Sodium
A key electrolyte that regulates fluid balance, hydration, and nerve function.
- Potassium
Essential for heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and cellular activity.
- Chloride
Helps maintain proper acid–base balance, hydration, and metabolic stability.
Clinical Benefits
- Early detection of renal dysfunction or potential kidney disease
- Assessment of waste filtration, electrolyte balance, and metabolic health
- Monitoring for chronic kidney conditions or medication effects
- Evaluation of fluid balance, heart health, and overall biochemical stability
- Identification of electrolyte abnormalities linked to dehydration, metabolic disorders, or kidney issues
