Your genetics play a significant role in how your body produces and stores cholesterol—more than diet alone. The Advanced Lipid Panel with Lp(a) and HS-CRP goes beyond a standard lipid test to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your cardiovascular health. This panel includes all the tests in a fasting lipid panel plus detailed insights into LDL and HDL subclasses, directly measuring LDL, LDL particle number, and LDL pattern type. It also includes Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], a cholesterol type linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Additionally, this test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP), a key marker of chronic inflammation that can elevate the risk of early stroke and heart attack. Understanding your lipid profile and inflammation levels can help you take a proactive approach to heart health, especially if you have a family history of heart disease or want to optimize your cardiovascular wellness.

HS-CRP is typically a $50 test, but we’ve included it in this panel at a discounted price to give you even greater insight into your heart health.
