What this test is
This panel combines several common blood tests into one order, covering cholesterol and other lipids, blood sugar, inflammation, and other markers linked to heart and metabolic health. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis, and it is often used alongside a physical exam and health history.
What it measures
- Total cholesterol — reflects the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood
- LDL cholesterol — often called bad cholesterol, higher levels are linked to plaque buildup
- HDL cholesterol — often called good cholesterol, helps remove cholesterol from the bloodstream
- Triglycerides — a type of fat in the blood that can be elevated by diet and other factors
- Fasting glucose — shows blood sugar level after not eating, related to diabetes risk
- C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) — a marker of inflammation that may be associated with heart risk
- Homocysteine — an amino acid that, at higher levels, has been linked to cardiovascular concerns
What the test involves
A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood, usually from a vein in your arm, using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this panel to check for risk factors such as high cholesterol, elevated blood sugar, or markers of inflammation that can be associated with heart disease. It is often used for routine monitoring or when someone has a family history or other concerns about cardiovascular health.
Preparation
Preparation can vary depending on which tests are included, so follow the specific instructions provided by the collection lab. In general, you may be asked to fast for several hours before the draw, but always confirm the exact requirements with the lab.
How results are reported
Results are typically reported as numbers for each marker, often with a reference range provided by the laboratory. Reference ranges can differ between labs, so your results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of your overall health.
