What does a lipid panel measure?
A lipid panel measures four things from a single blood sample: total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. It is the standard test for assessing cardiovascular risk, and it is one of the cheapest and most widely stocked tests in self-pay lab testing. Interpreting the numbers is a job for a clinician who knows your history.

Compiled by the LabTestCompare editorial team. Prices are collected from each ordering service’s own published catalog and re-checked on a schedule — see our editorial policy for how we source and correct them.
