What is NON HDL CHOLESTEROL?

Non-HDL cholesterol is a calculated value that represents all the 'bad' cholesterol in your blood, including LDL cholesterol and other harmful particles. It is considered a strong predictor of heart disease risk.

Why is this test important?

This test provides a comprehensive assessment of your cardiovascular risk, especially for individuals with high triglycerides or metabolic syndrome. It helps doctors determine the best course of action to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 9-12 hours (no food or drink except water) is usually required before the test.
