lipid panel
Cholesterol blood test
A lipid panel is a blood test measuring fats and cholesterol in the bloodstream.
It typically reports total cholesterol, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, HDL ("good") cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Doctors order lipid panels to assess cardiovascular risk: Your lipid panel looks good, but we should recheck in a year.
