Fasting for a Lipid Panel. A lipid panel, which is sometimes known as a lipid profile, is a blood test that measures for high cholesterol or fat. Cholesterol is an important substance that provides support to the outer membrane of the cell, but too much cholesterol can also be dangerous.
A lipid panel typically measures several substances associated with cholesterol, including LDL, HDL, triglycerides and total cholesterol. Food does not immediately affect LDL and HDL. Total cholesterol and triglycerides are sensitive to food intake. You will need to fast for 9 to 12 hours before having your blood drawn for a lipid profile. This means you cannot have anything, except water, to eat or drink before your blood test.
