A lipid profile measures the four blood fats that drive your risk of heart disease and stroke. Annual checks are recommended for every adult over 30.
Measured: Total cholesterol (<200 mg/dL), HDL (“good”, ≥40 men, ≥50 women), LDL (“bad”, <100 mg/dL), Triglycerides (<150 mg/dL).
Preparation: fast 9–12 hours, avoid alcohol for 24 hours. Plain water is fine.
Repeat schedule: normal — every 1–2 years; borderline or high — 3–6 months after lifestyle change; family history of early cardiac disease — yearly.
Prime Lab’s Lipid Panel is Rp 90,000 (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides).
