Blood test to measure High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL).
This test measures High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), a type of cholesterol that's considered "good" cholesterol. HDL helps remove cholesterol from arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Low HDL levels increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. This test is important for assessing cardiovascular health and identifying individuals who may benefit from lifestyle changes or medical intervention to improve their cholesterol profile.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
Anyone wanting to check specific health markers. People monitoring known conditions or treatment effectiveness. Those who want targeted testing rather than a comprehensive panel. Individuals following up on previous abnormal results or investigating specific symptoms.
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.
Biomarkers Tested
1The combined measure of all cholesterol in your blood, including HDL, LDL, and VLDL. While useful as an overview, the breakdown between HDL and LDL is more clinically meaningful for assessing cardiovascular risk.
