Lipoprotein Phenotyping Profile

This test analyzes the specific patterns of fats and proteins, called lipoproteins, circulating in your blood. It helps show exactly which type of fat-processing imbalance is present, which is important for managing high cholesterol or triglycerides. By categorizing these patterns, the test helps doctors differentiate between common lipid issues and specific genetic disorders. However, this test does not identify the underlying cause of the imbalance on its own and cannot diagnose heart disease directly.
