profile typically includes total cholesterol, high density lipoproteins (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), chylomicrons, triglycerides,
very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), Cholesterol/HDL ratio .The lipid profile is used to assess the risk of developing a heart disease
and to monitor its treatment. The results of the lipid profile are evaluated along with other known risk factors associated with heart
disease to plan and monitor treatment. Treatment options require clinical correlation.Reference: Third Report of the National
