Description
This test measures the levels of HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol, often referred to as 'good' cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is known for its protective role against heart disease. Higher levels of HDL are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle factors such as regular exercise, moderate alcohol consumption, and oral estrogen therapy can increase HDL levels. Conversely, obesity, stress, smoking, and diabetes mellitus are linked to lower HDL levels.
What patients is this test right for?
This test is particularly useful for individuals concerned about their heart health or those with risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

- If an HDL cholesterol measurement is to be performed along with triglycerides, but not part of a lipid panel, then the patient should be fasting 9-12 hours prior to collection. If the HDL-cholesterol is ordered as part of a lipid panel then a fasting sample is not required.
