Short Description

Non-fasting lipid profile may be done under various conditions such as in primary prevention setting, if preferred by the patient, mass screening of a community, for Cardiovascular risk assessment, emergency assessment of Pancreatitis patient, patients admitted with ACS, in children, in diabetic patients & in the elderly. There is an advantage of non-fasting over fasting lipid profile measurements in that the blood sampling process is simplified for patients, doctors and hence increases adherence to drug therapy and monitoring. Most people eat regularly throughout the day and are usually fasting only for a few hours in the morning. For all these reasons, non-fasting lipid concentrations might be a better indicator of average lipid concentrations in the blood rather than fasting concentrations. Follow-up fasting sample is recommended if observed levels do not fall within normal limits.
