CHOLESTEROL MEDICATION MAINTENANCE PANEL
WHAT IS TESTED FOR IN A CHOLESTEROL MEDICATION MAINTENANCE PANEL?
The Cholesterol Medication Maintenance Panel consists of the following tests:
1. Lipid Panel (includes Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, HDL/LDL Ratio, and Triglycerides)
2. Liver Function Panel (Hepatic Function) includes Total Protein, Albumin, Total and Direct Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase, AST and ALT.
You must fast at least eight (8) hours prior to having your specimen collected.
DESCRIPTION:
If you’re taking cholesterol medicine, your doctor may request a Cholesterol Medication Maintenance Panel before a refill is prescribed. It’s also perfect for people who need to have their cholesterol and liver functions tested on a routine basis or for those simply interested in knowing their cholesterol level.
This panel checks to see if your current total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglyceride (blood fats) levels have changed. While not a common side effect, changes in liver enzymes can be directly associated with your current prescription; therefore, this panel will also check the liver enzymes that can be affected.
