What is the preparation for lipid profile test
I am a relatively new patient of high blood pressure. As part of my routine check-ups, my doctor requires that I undergo a lipid profile test the next week. I was just wondering if there is any preparation for lipid profile test? Do I need to skip a few meals or stay clear of some eatables before the test? Can someone guide me please?
