Advanced Lipid Profile Cholesterol Screening Program
Check it out quickly: How much risk is your heart at? Get an in-depth cholesterol test to know your heart health risks.
At present, cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death among Thais. Data from the Department of Disease Control indicates that the number of patients is increasing continuously. Part of the cause is cholesterol levels. Even though some blood test results may look “normal,” you may be at a hidden risk. An advanced cholesterol profile is therefore very important to help assess your risk in advance, so you can plan your health care and prevent heart disease in the long term effectively.
What is cholesterol? Why should we care?
When talking about cholesterol, many people think that it is something bad for the body. But in fact,cholesterolConsidered asIt is a type of fat that is essential for the body. To create hormones, vitamin D or help digest food such as bile, etc.
But problems will start to occur when the body accumulates too much cholesterol, especially LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein). This will increase the risk of hardening, narrowing or blockage of blood vessels, which are major causes of heart and blood vessel disease.
However, cholesterol is not only bad. There are alsoGood cholesterol HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) atPlays an important role in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.Blood, by HDL will collect excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and bring it back to the liver to be eliminated from the body, resulting in a decrease in the amount of bad cholesterol in the bloodstream, resulting in cleaner and stronger blood vessels.
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) Its main function is to transport cholesterol and other fatty substances in the body. Having high LDL levels in the blood indicates high blood cholesterol levels and is associated with disease.The more familiar ones include heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral arterial disease, so LDL is sometimes referred to as “bad cholesterol.”
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL) It is responsible for transporting cholesterol.From the bloodstream and various organs Return to the liver to be eliminated from the body.It reduces the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream. For this reason, HDL is often referred to as “good cholesterol.” In addition, data from studies also indicate that if the body has low levels of HDL, it is also associated with the development of coronary heart disease.
What are the symptoms of high blood fat?
Another scary thing is that High blood fat doesn't show any symptoms. Therefore, it is often called a "silent danger" to health. Most people with high cholesterol are unaware that they have high blood fat. Until the body experiences some complications For example, ischemic heart disease, cerebral infarction, or hardening of the arteries, causing chest pain, shortness of breath, easy fatigue, and unexplained exhaustion, even thoughSome people get annual checkups but never know what blood lipid levels they should monitor. To prevent future disease occurrence
so Deep lipid testing (Advanced Lipid Profile) It is a more in-depth examination than the general normal examination, but it will look at the composition of fat and proteins involved in transporting fat in the blood to various tissues. To provide more accurate information on the risk of cardiovascular disease than just checking LDL alone.
Causes of high cholesterol
- heredity High cholesterol is hereditary. If your family has high cholesterol, you are more likely to have it too.
- Eating habits Lifestyle: Eating foods high in fat, red meat, fried foods, and excessive sweets, as well as smoking, frequent alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise.
- chronic stress The body is stimulated to produce more cholesterol to cope with stress.
- aging The body's metabolism slows down, especially women near menopause, who are at higher risk of high cholesterol than men.
How is a comprehensive cholesterol test better than a general health check?
A general lipid test will only tell you the level. Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides Which is good but not enough. Advanced Lipid Profile is an in-depth blood lipid test. It can see the “quality” and “structure” of fat, not just the quantity, and helps doctors assess the risk of cardiovascular disease before symptoms appear, especially in groups that appear healthy on the outside but have hidden risks.
Advanced Lipid Profile
1. Lipoprotein (a)
A type of fat that is mainly genetically determined. If it is high, it increases the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, even if the total cholesterol level is normal.
- High Value: High risk of cardiovascular disease, even if LDL levels are not high
- Low value: Lower risk of heart disease
Other factors that may affect Lp(a) levels include menopause, certain chronic diseases, inflammation, liver or kidney disease, diet, and exercise.
2. Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1)
It is a protein found in good fat (HDL) that helps transport cholesterol out of the blood vessels back to the liver. If it is low, it may increase the risk of clogged blood vessels.
- High Value: Often associated with good vascular health
- Low value: May indicate risk of heart disease and chronic inflammation.
3. Apolipoprotein B (Apo B)
It is a protein found in bad fat (LDL) and other harmful fats. It is used to see how many bad fat particles are in the blood, which indicates the risk of clogged arteries more clearly than looking at just LDL.
- High Value: It means that there is a high number of “bad fat particles” in the bloodstream, which increases the risk of blood clots.
- Low value: Good for blood vessel health
It is a more accurate value than general LDL in assessing heart disease risk.
4. Fibrinogen Level
It is a protein that helps the blood clot. If the level is too high, the blood will become thick and viscous, increasing the risk of blood clots in the blood vessels of the heart or brain.
- High Value: Increases the risk of blood clots, heart attack, or stroke.
- Low value: May be at risk of easy bleeding (but rare)
5. Homocysteine
Amino acids in the blood, if accumulated in large amounts, will damage blood vessel walls and stimulate inflammation in the blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and dementia.
- High Value: Increases the risk of hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, paralysis and other chronic diseases (preventable with vitamins B6, B9, B12 and folate)
- Low value: It may be caused by malnutrition, protein deficiency, or some chronic diseases.
Affects both the cardiovascular system and the brain.
6. Ferritin
Iron storage proteins in the body, if the level is abnormally high, may reflect chronic inflammation.
- High Value: Patients may have certain diseases that cause the body to accumulate more iron in red blood cells, such as liver disease, hyperthyroidism.
- Low value: May be associated with iron deficiency anemia.
7. C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
It is a value that indicates whether the body has “chronic inflammation” or not, especially inflammation in the blood vessel walls, which is the beginning of heart disease.
- High Value: Inflammation in the body increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in the long term.
- Low value: Good, reflecting the body without inflammation.
8. CT Calcium score
It is a measurement of the amount of calcium that has accumulated in the coronary arteries using a CT scan. The more it is found, the higher the risk of coronary artery stenosis, even though it has not yet shown symptoms.
- High Value: There is an accumulation of calcium, which means that blood vessels are beginning to harden, increasing the risk of heart attack.
- Low value: Very good, low risk of heart disease.
9. Oxidized LDL
It is bad fat (LDL) that has been oxidized, making it the most dangerous type of fat. It stimulates inflammation of the blood vessel walls, causing the blood vessels to harden and narrow faster.
- High Value: High risk of inflammation and blood clots, associated with heart disease, diabetes and insulin resistance.
- Low value: Good, reduces the risk of heart disease.

Why shouldn't lowering cholesterol just stop with taking medication?
In the past, when doctors found that there was High cholesterol Treatment usually ends with “Take medicine to reduce fat.” Along with advice on exercise and diet control, which are all correct and should be done, but nowadays Wellness Medicine and Preventive Medicine Approaches Looking deeper
Because in reality “High cholesterol” is not always a direct cause of cardiovascular disease.But it is caused by Chronic vascular inflammation Insulin resistance or Toxins and heavy metals accumulate in the body Long-standing
Chelation Therapy: A supplementary option that goes beyond fat reduction
One of the methods that has gained attention in caring for the vascular system is: Chelation Therapy or Blood detoxification with EDTA By giving through IV Drip together with vitamins and antioxidants, EDTA will act as Capture heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. Residues in the blood vessels and is excreted in the urine.
There are also some hypotheses and research such as: TACT Study (Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy) found that Chelation therapy may be beneficial in patients with coronary artery disease, especially those with diabetes.
- Reduce blood clots : It is hypothesized that EDTA may help draw calcium out of fatty deposits on blood vessel walls, which may help make blood vessels more elastic (but the results vary from person to person).
- Reduces inflammation in blood vessel walls : Inflammation is a major cause of cholesterol becoming more easily trapped in blood vessels.
- Stimulates blood vessel repair from within : Helps strengthen blood vessels, make them more flexible and circulate better.
- Reduce free radicals : which is an accelerator that causes blood vessels to deteriorate faster
