Material and Methods: The present study was undertaken in department of biochemistry, Patna Medical College, Patna cases were taken from the patients attending outdoor and admitted indoor patients from the department of medicine of Patna Medical College and Hospital, Patna. Fasting lipid profile estimation was done on 100 cases of onchial asthma and 50 healthy individuals as controlled. Result: In present study elevated level of total cholesterol is observed in asthmatic group which is 198.72±42.2mg/dl, And elevated level of LDL is also observed in asthmatic group which is 123.42±24.3mg/dl, But level of HDL is decreased in asthmatics group which is 38.63±15.2mg/dl. Conclusion: Thus in present study elevated level of total cholesterol and LDL is associated with increases incidence of asthma whereas increased level of HDL is associated with decrease incidence of asthma.
