SKU TEST-0085
Overview:
HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is often referred to as "good cholesterol." It plays a vital role in the cardiovascular system by helping remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transporting it to the liver for disposal. Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are generally associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
What it detects:
This test measures the level of HDL cholesterol in the blood. Low levels of HDL cholesterol can indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke, while higher levels are considered protective against these conditions.
Who should get it:
Individuals with risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease, should get this test. It is also used for general health checkups and to assess overall lipid (cholesterol) levels.
Sample required:
A blood sample is required for this test.
Fasting requirements:
Fasting is not usually required for this test, but it is typically advised to fast for 9-12 hours before a lipid panel to get accurate results for all cholesterol measurements.
Processing time:
Results available on Same Day.
