The lipid profile components are useful in the detection, classification and monitoring of patients with hyperlipidemia.The lipid profile is used as part of a cardiac risk assessment to help determine an individual's risk of heart disease and to help make decisions about what treatment may be best if there is borderline or high risk. Lipids are a group of fats and fat-like substances that are important constituents of cells and sources of energy. Monitoring and maintaining healthy levels of these lipids is important in staying healthy. The results of the lipid profile are considered along with other known risk factors of heart disease to develop a plan of treatment and follow-up. Depending on the results and other risk factors, treatment options may involve lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise or lipid-lowering medications such as statins. A MolQ Complete Health Package which is often performed as part of a complete health package, may be ordered instead of a single lipid profile for routine screening of the complete body. This group of tests includes most of the lipid panel as well as additional tests that evaluate other organs and systems within the body.
