Serum Cholesterol Test

A serum cholesterol test, also called a lipid profile or lipid panel, is a simple blood test to monitor the cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. A cholesterol test is useful to figure out how likely a person is to develop fatty deposits (plaques) in the arteries that can lead to narrowing or blockage of arteries (atherosclerosis). High cholesterol levels are a common cause of coronary artery disease.
