<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Note:<br /></strong> 1. Measurements in the same patient can show physiological &amp; analytical variations. Three serial samples 1 week apart are recommended for Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL &amp; LDL Cholesterol.<br /> 2. As per NLA-2014 guidelines, all adults above the age of 20 years should be screened for lipid status. Selective screening of children above the age of 2 years with a family history of premature cardiovascular disease or those with at least one parent with high total Cholesterol is recommended.</p>
