Lipid Profile

Indication: Evaluates muscle damage including heart, skeletal, and brain tissue. Why it's needed: Elevated in heart attack, muscular dystrophy, or after intense physical exertion.

Indication: Detects heart muscle damage, especially in heart attacks. Why it's needed: A specific cardiac enzyme that rises shortly after myocardial infarction.

Indication: Evaluates risk of heart disease. Why it's needed: Includes markers like hs-CRP, Apo A1, Apo B, Lipoprotein (a), and Homocysteine. These help predict future heart attack or stroke risk.

Indication: Measures tissue damage and cell breakdown. Why it's needed: Elevated in conditions like heart attack, liver disease, hemolysis, and cancer.

Indication: Evaluates for acute heart attack (MI). Why it's needed: Detects early cardiac muscle damage using cardiac enzymes and troponin I

Indication: Assesses heart failure and cardiac stress. Why it's needed: Elevated BNP indicates fluid overload and helps differentiate cardiac from non-cardiac causes of breathlessness.

Indication: Marker for heart failure. Why it's needed: Elevated levels suggest cardiac dysfunction, particularly left ventricular failure.

Indication: Measures all cholesterol in the blood. Why it's needed: Used to evaluate heart disease risk and monitor lipid-lowering therapy.

Indication: Measures "good cholesterol" level. Why it's needed: Higher HDL levels protect against heart disease; a key part of lipid profile.
