Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast?
Yes — fast for 8–12 hours (water is fine) and skip alcohol the day before, since both food and alcohol raise triglycerides significantly.

If you want your complete cholesterol picture, the lipid panel includes triglycerides plus LDL and HDL in one test.
