For HDL, a high number is good and a low number is the problem. For everything else, lower is better.<\/p>\n<p>Your personal target may be stricter than the table. Someone with diabetes or existing heart disease is usually asked to keep LDL well below 100, so read your report with a doctor rather than against a general chart.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_High_and_Low_Values_Mean\"><\/span>What Do High and Low Values Mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; font-size: 15px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background: #00507A; color: #ffffff;\">\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #00507A;\">Finding<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #00507A;\">May Suggest<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: #f5fafc;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; border: 1px solid #dbe7ee;\"><strong>High LDL<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; border: 1px solid #dbe7ee;\">Raised risk of heart attack and stroke.

There is no pain, no warning sign, and no way to feel it building up. People often discover it only after a heart attack. That is precisely why this test exists: it is one of the few ways to see a problem while you can still fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Book a lipid profile if any of these apply to you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You are 35 or older and have never checked, or your last test was over a year ago<\/li>\n<li>Someone in your immediate family had a heart attack, stroke, or high cholesterol early in life<\/li>\n<li>You have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a thyroid condition<\/li>\n<li>You are overweight, especially around the waist<\/li>\n<li>You smoke or use naswar or gutka<\/li>\n<li>You rarely exercise, or your diet leans on fried food, parathas, sweets, and soft drinks<\/li>\n<li>Your doctor started you on a cholesterol medicine and wants to check that it is working<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pakistan has a genuine problem here. The <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33520835\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">second National Diabetes Survey of Pakistan<\/a>, which studied 10,834 adults, found that <strong>39.3 percent had high cholesterol, 48.9 percent had high triglycerides, and low HDL affected 83.9 percent of men and 90 percent of women<\/strong>. Nearly nine in ten Pakistani adults are short on the protective kind of cholesterol.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Prepare_and_What_Happens_During_the_Test\"><\/span>How to Prepare and What Happens During the Test<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_the_test\"><\/span>Before the test<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast for 9 to 12 hours. Pakistani labs ask for this, and it mainly affects your triglyceride reading.<\/li>\n<li>Plain water is allowed and encouraged. Staying hydrated makes the blood draw easier.<\/li>\n<li>No tea, coffee, milk, juice, or chewing gum during the fast.<\/li>\n<li>Book a morning slot so you sleep through most of the fast and eat straight afterwards.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid a heavy or fried meal and alcohol the night before, as both can push triglycerides up.<\/li>\n<li>Tell the lab staff about any medicines you take. Do not stop a prescribed medicine to prepare for a test.<\/li>\n<li>If you have diabetes and take insulin, ask your doctor before fasting, because a long fast can drop your sugar too low.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"During_and_after_the_test\"><\/span>During and after the test<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A phlebotomist ties a band around your upper arm and cleans the inside of your elbow.<\/li>\n<li>A few millilitres of blood are drawn into a small tube.<\/li>\n<li>The whole process takes under 5 minutes and feels like a quick pinch.<\/li>\n<li>You can eat as soon as the sample is taken, so keep breakfast ready.<\/li>\n<li>Mild soreness or a small bruise at the site is normal and fades in a day or two.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Really_Have_to_Fast\"><\/span>Do You Really Have to Fast?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This has changed in recent years and it is worth understanding. European and American guidelines now accept a non fasting sample for routine screening, because total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL barely move after a meal. Triglycerides do move, which is the reason the fasting rule existed.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, laboratories in Pakistan still ask for 9 to 12 hours of fasting, and a large 2024 review of more than 244,000 people concluded that fasting remains the more consistent approach. Fasting is also still required if your triglycerides are already high or your doctor is tracking them. The simple advice: fast unless your doctor specifically tells you not to.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Tests_You_Can_Book\"><\/span>Related Tests You Can Book<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Doctors frequently order these alongside a lipid profile, and they can be taken from the same sample during the same visit.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; font-size: 15px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background: #00507A; color: #ffffff;\">\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #00507A;\">Test<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #00507A;\">What It Checks<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 14px; text-align: center; border: 1px solid #00507A;\">Book<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background: #f5fafc;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; border: 1px solid #dbe7ee;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marham.pk\/healthhub\/hba1c-test-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HbA1c<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 14px; border: 1px solid #dbe7ee;\">3 month average blood sugar.

test?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Laboratories in Pakistan ask for 9 to 12 hours of fasting. Plain water is allowed. Fasting mainly affects your triglyceride reading, while total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL change very little after food. Fast unless your doctor tells you otherwise.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_a_lipid_profile_test_cost_in_Pakistan\"><\/span>How much does a lipid profile test cost in Pakistan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At Marham Health+ the lipid profile test price is PKR 1,680, reduced from PKR 2,400, and home sample collection in Lahore is free.

Plain water is allowed and helps, because being hydrated makes the blood draw easier.

It causes no symptoms until something serious happens, which is exactly why a simple blood test once a year matters so much in Pakistan, where low HDL and high triglycerides are close to the norm. Fast overnight, get tested, and take the report to a doctor rather than acting on the numbers alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lipid profile test costs PKR 1,680 at Marham Health+, down from PKR 2,400, with free home sample collection in Lahore.
