Lipid Profile (Non-Fasting) ₱1,100
What the Lipid profile checks
A lipid profile measures total cholesterol, LDL ("bad" cholesterol), HDL ("good" cholesterol), triglycerides and VLDL. It helps your doctor estimate your risk of heart disease and stroke and decide whether you need lifestyle changes or medicine.
Who usually needs it
- Adults as part of a yearly check-up
- High blood pressure, diabetes, smoking or a family history of heart disease
- People taking cholesterol medicine, to check how well it works
How to prepare

Keep taking your usual medicines unless your doctor says otherwise. Bring a valid ID, your HMO card and LOA if you're using an HMO, and your doctor's request if you have one.
