Lipid Panel (LP)

A lipid panel (LP) is a blood test that measures various types of lipids (fats) in the blood. Lipids are important components of the body that play a role in many vital functions such as providing energy, insulating organs, and regulating cell function.

A healthcare provider may order a lipid panel as part of a routine physical exam or to evaluate a person’s risk for heart disease. Results from the lipid panel can help determine if lifestyle changes, medication, or other interventions are necessary to reduce a person’s risk of heart disease.
