What is HDL CHOLESTROL, SERUM?

The HDL Cholesterol test measures the level of "good" cholesterol in your blood. HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) helps remove excess cholesterol from your arteries, protecting against heart disease. Higher levels are generally considered beneficial for heart health.

Why is this test important?

This test is a key component of a lipid panel, used to assess your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Healthy HDL levels are associated with a lower risk of heart attack and stroke, while low levels can indicate an increased risk.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 9-12 hours is typically required before this test.
