Sample format. "Your Lab Name" is a placeholder. On HealthFlow every report carries your lab's own logo, letterhead and colours, and the QR opens the authentic signed copy through a logged verification gateway.
What this Lipid Profile format includes
Every line carries the result, its unit and the reference range, with out-of-range values flagged. The values below are sample values, shown so you can see the layout.
| Test | Result | Unit | Reference range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol | 228 ↑ | mg/dL | < 200 Desirable |
| Triglycerides | 186 ↑ | mg/dL | < 150 Desirable |
| HDL Cholesterol | 42 ↓ | mg/dL | > 45 Desirable |
| LDL Cholesterol | 152 ↑ | mg/dL | < 130 |
| VLDL Cholesterol | 37 ↑ | mg/dL | 10 - 30 |
| Chol / HDL Ratio | 5.4 ↑ | Ratio | 0 - 5 |
| Triglycerides / HDL Ratio | 4.4 ↑ | Ratio | 0 - 3.5 |
How a Lipid Profile report is read
- Lipid profile results should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient's cardiovascular risk factors and clinical findings.
- Non-fasting samples may influence triglyceride concentrations. Where applicable, fasting status should be considered during interpretation.
- Calculated LDL cholesterol may be unreliable when triglyceride concentrations exceed 400 mg/dL.
What commonly goes wrong with a Lipid Profile
The practical errors that actually cause repeat samples and misread results, mostly at collection and at the point the result is read.
- The fast matters mainly for triglycerides. 9 to 12 hours, water only, and no alcohol the previous evening; total and HDL cholesterol move little with food, triglycerides move a great deal.
- LDL is calculated on most panels, not measured. The Friedewald calculation is not valid when triglycerides exceed 400 mg/dL, and a report that prints an LDL anyway is publishing a number that does not exist.
- Cholesterol falls transiently after a heart attack, acute illness, surgery or major infection, so a panel drawn in that window understates the patient's usual level.
- A prolonged tourniquet raises every measured lipid by haemoconcentration, which is enough to move a borderline result across a decision line.

What does a Lipid Profile report format include?
A fasting lipid-profile report format with total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL and cardiac risk ratios. Each line shows the result, its unit and the reference range, with out-of-range values flagged, followed by clinical notes on how the test is interpreted.
Can this Lipid Profile format carry my lab's brand?
Yes. On HealthFlow the report is white-label: your lab's logo, letterhead, address and colours replace the "Your Lab Name" placeholder, and it can be printed or delivered on WhatsApp from your own number.
