what fluid sample is used for a lipid profile?
A lipid profile typically includes: 1  Total cholesterol. 2  High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) â often called good cholesterol because it removes excess cholesterol and carries it to the liver for removal.
The lipid profile includes total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol (often called good cholesterol), LDL-cholesterol (often called bad cholesterol), and triglycerides.
