Fasting is usually required for 8–12 hours before a lipid profile test, as food and drinks can temporarily affect triglyceride and LDL levels. During this time, only water is allowed. However, non-fasting lipid tests are increasingly common for routine screenings, as they provide accurate total cholesterol and HDL measurements. Your doctor will specify if fasting is necessary. Always follow their instructions for the most reliable results. For individuals on medications or with specific conditions, fasting might be essential to get a comprehensive view of lipid health.
