Description
A cardiac screen, including a blood sugar and lipid profile test, measures the levels of cholesterol and of blood sugar attached to haemoglobin in the blood. The test is prescribed to determine the risks of developing heart diseases and to monitor treatments for various conditions.
The lipid profile test provides details of different types of cholesterol in the blood, including triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL, non-HDL, HDL/LDL, and total cholesterol. On the other hand, the HbA1c or the glycosylated haemoglobin test measures the amount of blood sugar attached to the haemoglobin, which is also used to calculate a three-month average of the same. The cardiac screen panel by Max Lab includes the price of the lipid profile test and the HbA1c test for a comprehensive overview of cardiac risk factors.
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is used by the body to generate energy. Cholesterol is generally categorised into low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol), high levels of which can lead to a build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries; high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol), which aids the removal of LDL and prevents artery blockage; and triglycerides, which are unused calories that are stored in the form of fat in fat cells. The lipid profile test is used to screen for conditions like liver disease, to monitor treatment for various medical conditions, and is also a part of regular full body health check-ups. On the other hand, measuring the blood sugar levels and average blood sugar over three months, the HbA1c test is performed to screen for conditions like diabetes or prediabetes and to monitor treatment of the same.
Performed as a blood test, the lipid profile and HbA1c help assess cardiovascular risks, for which high cholesterol and blood sugar levels, both are risk factors.

The cardiac screen with the lipid panel test and HbA1c is prescribed for people who have a high risk of developing cardiac issues. As high cholesterol is considered to be a major risk factor for people who are suffering from diabetes, a lipid function test and HbA1c test should be performed regularly to keep track of the cholesterol and sugar levels. Generally advised after overnight fasting, the lipid profile and HbA1c tests are often also a part of regular health check-ups.
Some of the most important risk factors for developing cardiac issues, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol include:
It is very easy to book an HbA1c and lipid profile test at home online at an affordable cost with Max Lab. You can also locate a Max Lab near you for the HbA1c and lipid profile test. The report for the test with lipids and blood sugar levels will be made available online as well for convenience.
After receiving the report of the sugar and lipid test (serum) to screen an individual’s cardiovascular health, it is recommended to consult a doctor, who after factoring in individual factors like health, age, etc., will be able to suggest a treatment plan or further testing, if required.
The lipid profile test is an important part of analysing one’s cardiovascular health as the test measures the levels of cholesterol and lipids (fat molecules) in the blood. The lipid profile test may be prescribed as part of a regular full body health check-up to determine if one’s cholesterol levels are normal, borderline-, intermediate-, or high-risk category, to monitor the levels if the person received abnormal results in the past, for diagnosing medical conditions like liver disease, or to monitor the body’s response to cholesterol treatment or lifestyle changes.
Apart from getting the test performed as a part of regular health checkups, the lipid profile test is often a part of screening for other medical conditions. The test may be prescribed more frequently for a person who has high risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. These risk factors include:
You can check the price of the lipid profile test and book your appointment online with ease.
Often also known as the coronary risk panel, the lipid profile test helps measure the amount of good and bad cholesterol and triglycerides in the body. The test helps assess the risk one has of developing cardiovascular diseases and monitoring the treatment of unhealthy lipid levels. The cost of the lipid profile test may vary depending on other tests that you are opting for along with this one or if you are only getting the lipid profile performed. You can check the cost of the lipid profile test panels at Max Lab and book the appropriate one online.
The lipid profile is a blood test that is performed on a sample collected after an overnight fast. The blood sample is collected from a vein in the arm by a technician. At Max Lab, you can also book a home sample collection for the lipid profile blood test.
With the sample being collected after overnight fasting, the lipid profile test is an essential part of analysing one’s cardiovascular health. High cholesterol generally does not show any symptoms but increases the risk of developing heart diseases and can lead to narrowing and blockage of blood vessels, obstructing the blood flow in the body. That is why it is necessary for one to opt for a regular lipid profile test after fasting overnight, more so for people with risk factors for high cholesterol.
Yes. For most lipid test screens (serum), one is required to not ingest any food or liquid before sample collection, which is why it is generally recommended to go for a sample collection after an overnight fast. The lipid profile test (serum) is performed to screen for cholesterol issues and other medical conditions. It is important to consult a doctor about the medication one is on to know what preparations they should make before going for the test.
As the lipid profile test (serum) is performed to measure cholesterol levels in the body, a high lipid profile generally means that one has high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol, or fat molecules called triglycerides, or both, or low levels of HDL. High results of the lipid profile test (serum) generally indicate an increased risk for developing various heart-related problems.
A lipid profile includes several tests that measure the levels of the following components in the blood:
The test also calculates the LDL/HDL ratio or total cholesterol. You can book an at-home lipid profile with Max Lab, which also includes a test for blood sugar, to offer a more comprehensive overview of one’s health.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance in the blood that is used by the body to build healthy cells. The lipid function test or lipid profile determines the cholesterol levels in the body. The lipid function test measures:
At Max Lab, you can book an HbA1c and lipid function test panel, where the HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) test measures the blood sugar level and helps provide a more comprehensive analysis of one’s risk factors for developing cardiovascular diseases.
At Max Lab, you can book a lipid profile test with the Hb1Ac test which also measures blood sugar levels. However, when you book a lipid profile test by itself, it measures the following 4 components:
