Identify high cholesterol
Many people have high cholesterol without knowing it – screening is the only way to detect it early and start preventive measures.
A lipid profile is a group of blood tests that measures the levels of fats (lipids) in your blood – including total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglycerides. It is the primary tool for assessing cardiovascular risk and is essential for preventing heart attacks, strokes, and other vascular diseases.
High cholesterol and triglycerides are silent risk factors – they often have no symptoms until a heart event occurs. Early detection through a simple blood test allows you and your doctor to take action with lifestyle changes (diet, exercise) or medications (statins, fibrates) to reduce risk significantly.
At Amytri, our lipid profile is performed using fully automated analysers with stringent quality controls. Results are interpreted by experienced pathologists and shared with your physician. We also offer home sample collection for your convenience, making it easy to prioritise your heart health.
High cholesterol is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. A lipid profile helps you and your doctor take control.
Many people have high cholesterol without knowing it – screening is the only way to detect it early and start preventive measures.
If you are on statin therapy or lifestyle changes, regular lipid profiles show whether your LDL and triglycerides are improving.
Lowering LDL and triglycerides reduces the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes – and improves overall longevity.
We offer a full range of lipid tests – from basic screening to advanced lipoprotein analysis – to give you and your doctor the complete picture.
Measures all cholesterol in your blood. Desirable level: < 200 mg/dL. Levels above 240 mg/dL are considered high risk.
The main contributor to arterial plaque. Optimal level depends on risk profile – generally < 100 mg/dL for high‑risk individuals.
Helps remove cholesterol from arteries. Higher is better – > 60 mg/dL is protective; < 40 mg/dL increases risk.
Fatty acids linked to heart disease, especially when elevated with other risk factors. Normal: < 150 mg/dL.
VLDL is calculated from triglycerides; non‑HDL (total minus HDL) is a strong predictor of risk, especially in diabetes.
For selected patients, we offer ApoB, Lp(a), and lipoprotein particle analysis – for personalised risk assessment.
For accurate triglycerides and LDL calculation, fast for 9–12 hours (water only). Avoid alcohol and heavy meals the night before.
A trained phlebotomist collects a venous blood sample. The process is quick and gentle. We also offer home sample collection for your convenience.
Samples are processed on fully automated analysers with enzymatic methods. Results are validated by pathologists before release.
Reports are ready within 24 hours and delivered via WhatsApp or email. We provide reference ranges and highlight abnormal values.
It is a core test for anyone concerned about heart health – and essential for those with risk factors.
Regular screening is recommended from these ages, or earlier if you have other risk factors.
If your parents or siblings have had heart attacks or high cholesterol, you are at higher risk – test early.
These conditions are closely linked with dyslipidaemia – lipid testing is essential for management.
If you have had a heart attack, bypass surgery, or stroke, regular lipid profiles guide secondary prevention.
These lifestyle factors increase risk – screening can motivate positive change.
If you are on cholesterol‑lowering medication, regular testing ensures the dose is effective and safe.
Dr. Abhishek oversees the lipid testing at Amytri, ensuring that every result is accurate and clinically reliable. He works closely with cardiologists and physicians to interpret complex lipid profiles and guide treatment – from lifestyle changes to advanced lipid‑lowering therapies.
Lipid testing is often the first step towards a heart‑healthy lifestyle – having your partner or family member with you provides support and shared motivation.
We welcome partners during blood collection. They can sit with you, ask questions, and help remember the doctor’s advice. Shared understanding makes heart‑healthy changes easier to adopt.

Yes, for accurate triglycerides and LDL calculation, you need to fast for 9–12 hours. Only water is allowed during the fasting period.
LDL ("bad") cholesterol deposits plaque in arteries; HDL ("good") cholesterol helps remove cholesterol from arteries. A balance is key to heart health.
Lipid profile reports are typically ready within 24 hours. We send them via WhatsApp or email, or you can collect them in person.
Yes! We offer home sample collection for all lipid tests. A trained phlebotomist will visit you at your convenience.
A prescription is recommended for targeted testing, but you can also walk in for a lipid screening without a prescription. Our doctor can advise you on the appropriate tests.
