NMR LipoProfile® With Lipids (With Graph)

This test measures the number and size of the particles that carry cholesterol in your blood, in addition to standard cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It helps show whether you have a higher risk of developing heart disease, as a high number of small particles can lead to clogged arteries even if standard cholesterol numbers appear normal. This detailed view helps doctors identify specific cholesterol patterns often seen in conditions like diabetes or insulin resistance. However, this test cannot directly visualize plaque buildup in your arteries or diagnose a specific heart condition by itself.
