TEST : HDL 
OTHER TEST REQUEST NAME :

• HDL-C
• High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

PATIENT PREPARATIONS :

Whilst HDL blood tests can be performed accurately on non-fasting specimens, the  test is usually performed as part of a complete lipid profile. In these circumstances, fasting for about 12 hours is required, with only water permitted.

INTENDED USE :

HDL cholesterol is the well-behaved "good cholesterol." This friendly scavenger cruises the bloodstream. As it does, it removes harmful bad cholesterol from where it doesn't belong. High HDL levels reduce the risk for heart disease -- but low levels increase the risk.
