Total Lipids test is provided at an advanced and NABL- and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy. This blood test specifies the total level of various kinds of fats (lipids) in the blood. These tests are useful for the doctor to determine if lipid (fat) metabolism is abnormal, if there are abnormalities in the level of blood fats, and to understand any factors that may potentially lead to abnormalities in the cardiovascular system.

What is Total Lipids?

Total Lipids is a blood test used to determine or estimate the total amount of various lipids in the bloodstream. The Total Lipids test measures lipids overall, compared to a lipid profile report that shows specific lipids like total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides. The results are interpreted in addition to other lipid parameters and clinical and medical history.

Conditions Evaluated

Dyslipidaemia

Dyslipidaemia is a condition of excessive blood levels of fats (triglycerides and cholesterol). The Total Lipids test, used with the detailed lipid profile, may be used to help gain an understanding of the total amount of lipid content.

Atherosclerosis

The fatty deposits form inside artery walls, narrowing or hardening the arteries to develop atherosclerosis. This process may be aided by abnormal levels of lipids, which are a type of fat, and may make the person at risk for heart disease.

Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty liver disease is defined as the process in which additional fat builds up in the liver cells. This may be a complication of the condition, but it cannot be diagnosed by the Total Lipids test.

Metabolic Disorders

Some metabolic disorders may impact the way the body utilizes and moves fat. Blood sugar levels, cholesterol measurements, and these other tests should be used in conjunction with total lipid measurement to help with further assessment.

Lipid Metabolism Disorders

Lipid metabolism disorders occur when the body cannot produce, move, or break down fats. When a doctor recommends it, the test can help in evaluating overall lipid abnormalities.
