The High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol test measures the amount of this type of cholesterol in the blood, known as "good cholesterol" due to its role in removing harmful cholesterol from the arteries. This analysis is crucial for assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and monitoring heart health. We use automated spectrophotometry to ensure accurate and reliable results. This test is essential for patients at risk of heart disease or those who require cholesterol level monitoring as part of their health management.
A minimum 12-hour fast is required before the test. It is important that the sample does not show hemolysis. Please inform staff about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may interfere with the results.
