What is included in the complete set of blood lipids

A full set of lipid tests generally includes HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoprotein a. These are the five indicators that are routinely tested in many large clinical hospitals. If a patient has elevated LDL cholesterol and elevated total cholesterol, it is recommended that the patient should prefer statin lipid-lowering drugs, such as simvastatin and rasulvastatin. If the patient is mainly with high triglycerides, it is recommended to prefer fibrate lipid-lowering drugs, with benzofibrate and fenofibrate as representative drugs. If the patient is mainly elevated lipoprotein a, generally do not need special treatment, but elevated lipoprotein a, also represents the patient is prone to coronary heart disease and other problems, if the elevation is more, if necessary, can also take oral niacin extended-release tablets to restore it to normal.
