lipid profile
Blood fat test
A lipid profile is a blood test measuring fats and cholesterol in the bloodstream—typically total cholesterol, HDL ("good") cholesterol, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Doctors order lipid profiles to assess cardiovascular risk: Your lipid profile looks good, but let's recheck in a year.
Also called a lipid panel.
