₹250.00
Description
- Cholesterol – HDL: This test measures the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. HDL is often referred to as “good” cholesterol because it helps remove other forms of cholesterol from the bloodstream.
- Overview: The Cholesterol – HDL test is part of a lipid panel and provides insight into cardiovascular health. Higher levels of HDL are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
- Purpose: This test is commonly used to evaluate an individual’s risk of heart disease and stroke, guide treatment for cholesterol management, and monitor the effectiveness of lifestyle changes or medications.
- Interpretation: HDL levels are considered optimal when above 60 mg/dL. Levels below 40 mg/dL are associated with an increased risk of heart disease, while levels between 40 and 59 mg/dL are considered borderline.
- Procedure: A blood sample is typically taken after fasting for 9 to 12 hours to ensure accurate measurements. Patients are advised to consult with their healthcare provider regarding any dietary or medication restrictions before the test.
