A lipid profile measures the fats your blood is carrying — total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL cholesterol — from a single sample given on an empty stomach. At Apoorv Pathology it costs ₹650, with every line explained in plain language and ready in about 6 hours.* Come in after 9 to 12 hours without food; water is fine, and we confirm the exact prep when you book. Home collection is charged separately and varies by area.
*Typical timings for routine tests booked in a morning slot. Some specialised tests take longer — we tell you when you book.

A sample reading of 186 mg/dL sits in the desirable band. Total cholesterol is only the headline — it is read next to your triglycerides and your HDL, and next to your last profile, because the direction across two readings says more than one morning does.
Reference ranges differ a little between laboratories and shift with age and pregnancy, so your report carries the range the analyser was calibrated to. Dr. Manju, MD Pathology, reads your values against it before the report is released.

What it measures
Usual desirable range
Cholesterol Total
All the cholesterol your blood is carrying, added up
Under 200 mg/dL
Triglycerides

HDL Cholesterol
The fraction that carries cholesterol away from artery walls
40 mg/dL and above (men) · 50 and above (women)
Those three lines are what the ₹650 profile reports. Direct LDL is a separate assay and is priced separately — tell us at booking and we add it to the same draw. Apolipoprotein A, B & Ratio is ₹630 and Lipoprotein(a) is ₹990 if your doctor has asked for either. See the full test list →

How we run it
Barcoded samples from collection to analyzer, calibrated analyzers, and pathologist review before anything is released — Dr. Manju, MD Pathology, verifies every report. Your Smart Report then explains each line in plain language, and shows this profile beside your last one so you can see which way the numbers are moving. Apoorv Pathology is registered under the UP Clinical Establishments Act.
Home collection varies by area and we quote it before we come · Morning slots make the fast easy
Lipid Profile, answered.
Yes. Give the sample after 9 to 12 hours without food; water is fine, and take your regular medicines as your doctor has told you. Triglycerides in particular move with a recent meal. A morning slot makes the fast easy, and we confirm the exact prep when you book.
Total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL cholesterol from one sample, each explained in plain language rather than left as a value with an arrow. If your doctor has also asked for direct LDL, Apolipoprotein A, B & Ratio (₹630) or Lipoprotein(a) (₹990), tell us at booking and we draw them together.
Usually not. Cholesterol is measured rather than felt, which is why the number exists at all. One reading tells you where you stand today; two or three across a year tell you which way things are moving, which is the more useful question to be able to answer.
Your doctor sets the interval, and it depends on your reading and your history. Many people repeat it around 90 days after changing something in how they eat or move, and yearly once the numbers sit in the desirable band.
