Find a LocationWhat is a Lipid Panel Test?
A lipid panel test, also called a lipid profile, is a blood test that measures cholesterol through a variety of lipids, which are fatty substances that act as energy sources for your body. These include:
- High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL): the "good" cholesterol that fights against heart disease
- Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL): the bad cholesterol that clogs arteries
- Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL): another form of bad cholesterol; too much of this puts you at high risk of heart disease
- Total Cholesterol (T. CHOL): the total amount of cholesterol in your blood

What's the difference between American Family Care and emergency room services?
Urgent care is for medical conditions that require prompt attention but do not pose an immediate threat to your health or life. Here is a simple rule of thumb: if your medical issues(s) are life threatening, call 911, or go directly to a hospital emergency room. If not, an urgent care center such as AFC is an excellent alternative.
