Which test evaluates cholesterol levels?

• A. Basic Metabolic Panel
• B. CBC
• C. HbA1C
• D. Lipid Panel

Answer: (D)

Cholesterol levels are specifically evaluated with a lipid panel, which measures total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides to assess lipid status and cardiovascular risk. The Basic Metabolic Panel checks electrolytes, kidney function, and glucose, not lipids. The CBC looks at blood cells and related indices, not cholesterol. HbA1C reflects average blood glucose over several months, not lipid levels. So the lipid panel is the test that targets cholesterol.
