Lipid metabolism profile Is a set of tests that show the levels of different types of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. The analysis allows us to determine the risk of thrombus formation in the arteries, which partially or completely suffocates the vascular lumen (atherosclerosis) and impedes blood flow, resulting in the development of a heart attack or stroke. Depending on which organ is feeding the damaged blood vessel, the symptoms of malnutrition develop in the body - angina pectoris and myocardial infarction develop when the coronary arteries are damaged, and cerebral stroke - when the cerebral artery is damaged. Determining lipid metabolism is also important in weight correction and hormonal metabolism disorders in children.

Is included in the lipid metabolism profile (Click on a specific product for more information on each parameter):

• • Total cholesterol
  • MSL (HDL) cholesterol
  • Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL)
  • DSL (LDL) cholesterol
  • Triglycerides
  • Atherogenicity index (coefficient)

Remember that just determining total cholesterol levels is not enough, a full profile study is needed!
