The Berkeley blood test is an extension of a lipid panel, that in addition to choleterol levels, may help increase patients' risk factors for heart disease. These tests are not routinely done, but can be a helpful tool to customize therapy for patients at risk for heart disease. Some practioners may request these for certain high-risk populations.
