Question: 1 / 400

What does a lipid profile test for?

Glucose

Proteins

Cholesterol

A lipid profile test is a blood test that measures the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. It specifically looks at the levels of different types of cholesterol, including good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol. While glucose and proteins are important components of our blood, they are not typically included in a lipid profile test. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect. Triglycerides, on the other hand, are a type of fat that can also be measured through a lipid profile test. However, since the question asks specifically for what a lipid profile test measures, the more specific answer of cholesterol is the best choice. So option D is incorrect as well. This shows the importance of paying attention to the specifics of a question and not just assuming that all similar options are correct.
