This Lipids Panel includes the following tests:
- 1. Total Cholesterol
- 2. HDL
- 3. LDL
- 4. HDL/LDL Ratio
- 5. Triglycerides
Description:
The Lipids Panel can determine if you have abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. These are important because they can also help you and your doctor determine if you’re at risk for heart disease or other coronary (heart) illnesses.
Cholesterol is fat that is produced by the liver. It can also be obtained from foods like cheeseburgers, pizza, etc. There are two kinds of cholesterol – the good and the bad.
- 1. High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) = Good cholesterol.
- 2. Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) = Bad cholesterol.
Basically, you want a high HDL and a low LDL (see below for optimal results.)
The Lipids Panel is a great panel to establish a “baseline” (an initial reading or level of results) and continuously monitor over time (like every quarter) to ensure healthy results and take necessary action in elevated levels.
When all of these tests are evaluated together, your physician can determine if you would benefit from a cholesterol maintenance medication. If you’re already taking cholesterol medication, your doctor may require a more detailed test from ANY LAB TEST NOW® such as the Cholesterol Medication Maintenance Panel before a refill can be completed.
Why Do I Need It?:
Is your heart healthy?
Measuring your Total Cholesterol and other levels is one method to detect whether you’re at risk for heart or coronary artery diseases, among others.
Test Details:
Normal Range:
Normal ranges can depend on sex and age. Below are the ranges for a healthy adult.
| Normal ranges can depend on sex and age. Below are the ranges for a healthy adult. Total Cholesterol | Desirable levels are less than 200 mg/dL Borderline normal levels are 200‐239 mg/dL |
| HDL Cholesterol | Desirable levels are 60 mg/dL or above |
| LDL Cholesterol | Optimal levels are less than 100 mg/dL Near Optimal levels are 100‐129 mg/dL Borderline normal levels are 130‐159 mg/dL |
| Triglycerides | Normal levels are less than 150 mg/dL Borderline normal levels are 150‐199 mg/dL |
High Results Indicate:
TOTAL CHOLESTEROL: High results are values over 240 mg/dL. These results may indicate that you have a problem processing fats and could indicate that you may have a higher risk for heart disease.
HDL CHOLESTEROL: High results are values less than 40 mg/dL. This indicates that you may not have enough good cholesterol to balance out the LDL cholesterol.
LDL CHOLESTEROL: High results are values over 190 mg/dL. These results may indicate that you have a problem processing fats and could indicate that you have a higher risk for heart disease.
TRIGLYCERIDES: High results are values between 200 and 499 mg/dL. Very high risk values are over 500 mg/dL. These results may indicate that you have a problem processing fats and could indicate that you have a higher risk for heart disease.
Low Results Indicate:
Typically, there are no low results for these tests. However, some doctors treat low HDL. Ask your doctor if necessary.
The Cardiac Risk Panel gives you a clearer picture of your overall health, specifically your heart health. This panel helps to identify your risk of cardiovascular or heart disease by monitoring any inflammation in your body. This panel also reports your blood counts, electrolytes, kidney and liver functions.
The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a protein that increases during systemic inflammation. This panel tests this level to assess any cardiovascular or heart disease risk.
Homocysteine is a common amino acid (they make up proteins) that you get from eating meat. This panel tests your homocysteine levels and if high, can lead to early development of heart and blood vessel disease.
Test Components:
The Cardiac Risk Panel includes the following tests:
1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)
2. Chemistry Panel (16 essential tests)
3. C-Reactive Protein, High Sensitivity (CRP)
4. Homocysteine Plasma/Serum
5. Lipoprotein (a) Analysis
Price: $79
The Cholesterol Medication Maintenance Panel consists of the following tests:
- 1. Lipid Panel (includes Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, HDL/LDL Ratio, and Triglycerides).
- 2. Hepatic Panel (includes Total Protein, Albumin, Total and Direct Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase, AST and ALT).
Description:
If you’re taking cholesterol medicine, your doctor may request a Cholesterol Medication Maintenance Panel before a refill is prescribed. It’s also perfect for people who need to have their cholesterol and liver functions tested on a routine basis or for those simply interested in knowing their cholesterol level.
This panel checks to see if your current total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglyceride (blood fats) levels have changed. While not a common side effect, changes in liver enzymes can be directly associated with your current prescription, therefore, this panel will also check the liver enzymes that can be affected.
Why Do I Need It?:
With a Cholesterol Medication Maintenance Panel from ANY LAB TEST NOW®, your doctor can make adjustments to your cholesterol medication and you can have peace of mind.
The PLAC® Test is the only blood test cleared by the FDA to aid in assessing risk for both coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke associated with atherosclerosis.
87% of strokes are ischemic1.
68% of all heart attacks and strokes occur from clots, not from narrowing of the arteries.
The PLAC Test is a blood test that measures the level of Lp-PLA2 (Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2), an enzyme associated with the inflammation of your arteries. Increased levels of Lp-PLA2 increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
In most adults, cholesterol causes a fatty deposit called plaque to build up in the walls of the arteries. When arterial walls become inflamed, your body produces the enzyme Lp-PLA2. If the amount of Lp-PLA2 is high, this may indicate that the plaque is more likely to rupture through the inside lining of your artery into your bloodstream, where it may cause a clot that could result in heart attack or stroke.
The PLAC Test can provide you and your doctor with information about the health of your arteries that was not available in the past.

Description:
The VAP® (Vertical Auto Profile) Test is one of the most accurate and comprehensive cholesterol tests available today. It reports 18 separate components of blood cholesterol compared to just four in a standard test.
This comprehensive cholesterol test can identify more lipid abnormalities (which is the #1 risk factor of heart disease) than the standard test and is the only cholesterol test to identify markers for Metabolic Syndrome, a precursor for diabetes.
Your risk of heart disease and diabetes can be reduced with the right preventative treatments – and the VAP Test provides a large amount of information for your doctor to give an accurate diagnosis.
Why Do I Need It?
The VAP Cholesterol Test is a test for you if you have:
- A family history of heart disease or cardiac event
- Elevated cholesterol ( Total or LDL) or Low HDL
- Elevated Triglycerides
- Diabetes or family history of diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Thyroid Problems
- Kidney Problems
- High Blood Pressure
- Obstructive Liver Disease
Or if you are taking cholesterol medication or are overweigh.
The VAP cholesterol test can determine if you may have Metabolic Syndrome, a precursor for Type II Diabetes or Insulin Resistance
No Fasting is required for this VAP Cholesterol test.
Test Components:
The VAP® Cholesterol Test (Vertical Auto Profile) measures:
| 1. LDL (direct measured) Cholesterol | 10. HDL2 |
| 2. HDL Cholesterol | 11. HDL3 |

The Chemistry Panel includes 16 essential tests that are typically requested by your doctor as part of a routine check-up or annual physical. This panel gives you or your doctor a clearer picture of your overall health.
See below for additional details on its test components.
*Sodium (Na) Potassium (K), Chloride (C) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – When tested, irregular values in these “electrolytes” can indicate trouble with your body’s salt/water or acid/base balance. Dehydration, vomiting, medications and kidney problems can cause these health issues.
*Albumin (Alb), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Bilirubin (Bil)-Direct and Total, Aspartate Transaminase (AST); and Alanine Transaminase (ALT) – These are proteins and enzymes found in the blood. Abnormal levels of any of these tests can indicate liver damage or liver disease.
The C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity) (CRP) is a blood test that measures the amount of protein (called C-reactive Protein) in your blood that indicates inflammation. It’s also used to assess your risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). “High Sensitivity” means that this particular test can see if you have an increased chance of having a heart problem or heart attack. High levels of CRP are caused by infections and many long-term diseases.
Homocysteine is a common amino acid (they make up proteins) that you get from eating meat. This panel tests your homocysteine levels and if high, can lead to early development of heart and blood vessel disease.
Test Components:
The Heart Health Panel includes:
* The VAP® Test
* Chemistry Panel (16 essential tests)
* C-Reactive Protein (High Sensitivity)
* Homocysteine

Proactive blood testing can give you and your doctor more information to better manage, diagnose and treat potentially life-threatening cardiovascular issues.
This Value Panel provides direct measurements of LDL, HDL and all relevant subclasses, and includes non-HDL, a highly accurate determination of apoB, and emerging risk factors such as Lp(a), remnants and small dense LDL – not detected with routine cholesterol tests.
Find out the answers you need, now.
This extensive Heart Health Panel also determines if inflammation has damaged the inner lining of your arteries, thus increasing your chances of a heart attack.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in the body. Having high "bad" cholesterol means you have too much LDL cholesterol in your blood. LDL cholesterol can build up in your arteries and prevent the blood from getting to your heart. HDL cholesterol is the "good" cholesterol. It carries LDL cholesterol away from your artery walls.
Here is some basic information you should know about cholesterol:- Too much cholesterol in the blood, or high cholesterol, can be serious. People with high cholesterol are at risk of getting heart disease. This can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
- Only about 25% of cholesterol comes from the foods you eat. The other 75% is made by the body. Factors such as age and family history affect how much cholesterol your body makes.
- People with high cholesterol usually have no symptoms. But it can be detected with a blood test. These tests can also help your doctor predict what your risk for heart disease may be.
Cholesterol levels tend to rise as you get older. Unfortunately, there are usually no signs that you have high cholesterol. But it can be detected with a blood test. These tests can also help your doctor predict what your risk for heart disease may be.
Total Cholesterol Your blood test report will show your cholesterol levels in milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL). The total number is based on:- LDL ("bad" cholesterol)
- HDL ("good" cholesterol)
- Triglyceride (a type of fat found in your blood) levels
