Thyroid Profile Test
(Comprehensive Screening)
The Thyroid Profile Test evaluates the function of your thyroid gland by measuring hormone levels in your blood to detect hypo- or hyperthyroidism and maintain metabolic health.
Overview
A Thyroid Profile Test measures key hormones in your blood, including TSH, T3, and T4, to assess thyroid gland function and detect imbalances that may affect metabolism.
This test helps identify conditions like hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and other thyroid disorders, which can influence energy levels, weight, and overall health.
Thyroid function testing is recommended for individuals experiencing fatigue, weight changes, irregular heart rate, or as part of routine preventive health checkups.
What We Do
Our lab performs Thyroid Profile Tests using precise, modern equipment for accurate measurement of TSH, T3, and T4 levels. All reports are reviewed by experienced endocrinologists and medical experts.
Health Tips & Information
Maintaining a balanced diet rich in iodine, regular exercise, stress management, and timely thyroid testing can help maintain optimal thyroid function and overall health.
No fasting is generally required, but it is advisable to follow any specific instructions given by your doctor.
Thyroid Profile reports are usually available within the same day or the next working day.
Thyroid testing helps detect hormonal imbalances early, allowing timely intervention to maintain metabolism and overall health.
Lipid Profile Test (Cholesterol Analysis) Components
A Lipid Profile Test measures different types of cholesterol and fats in the blood to assess heart health.
Total Cholesterol
Indicates the overall amount of cholesterol present in the blood.
Less than 200 mg/dL
LDL Cholesterol (Bad)
High levels increase the risk of heart disease and artery blockage.
Less than 100 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol (Good)
Helps remove bad cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Men: ≥ 40 mg/dL
Women: ≥ 50 mg/dL
Triglycerides
A type of fat that increases heart risk when elevated.
Less than 150 mg/dL
VLDL Cholesterol
Carries triglycerides and contributes to plaque buildup.
5–40 mg/dL
Cholesterol Ratio
Ratio of total cholesterol to HDL, indicating heart disease risk.
Below 4.5
The Lipid Profile Test Process
What to expect before, during, and after your cholesterol test
Preparation
Fasting for 8–12 hours is usually required for accurate lipid measurements.
During the Test
A small blood sample is drawn from a vein by a trained phlebotomist.
After the Test
You can resume normal activities immediately; no special care is needed.
Results
Lipid profile reports are typically available within the same day or next working day.
Tips for Accurate Results
- Fasting is recommended before the test
- Drink water but avoid sugary drinks
- Avoid alcohol and fatty meals before the test
- Inform your doctor about current medications
- Carry a valid ID and test request form

Understanding Your Results
How to interpret Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Analysis) results
↑ Higher Than Normal
Total Cholesterol: Increased risk of heart disease
LDL (Bad Cholesterol): Plaque buildup in arteries
Triglycerides: Risk of pancreatitis and cardiovascular problems
VLDL: Contributes to arterial plaque formation
↓ Lower Than Normal
HDL (Good Cholesterol): Reduced protection against heart disease
Total Cholesterol: Possible malnutrition or liver issues
Triglycerides: Rare, may indicate metabolic issues
Cholesterol Ratio: May not provide sufficient heart protection
Important Considerations
- Normal ranges may vary by age, gender, and lab methods
- Single abnormal values may not indicate disease
- Medications, diet, and lifestyle can affect results
- Always consult your doctor for accurate interpretation
