Lipid profile is a test using electrophoresis to differentiate between the different types of lipids. A standard test will separate the lipid component of the plasma into TriGlycerides, High Density Lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL), Very Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL) and Total Cholesterol (TC). From the previously mentioned lipids, one would calculate the Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol as well as the atherogenic indexes be it TC/LDL or LDL/HDL. Measuring the LDL directly is possible but is not standard. Other tests like sub-typing of the LDL or the HDL, as well as Lp(a) are not routein in most laboratories albeit they are frequently performed in research centers.
