    What Is an HDL Cholesterol Test?

    The HDL cholesterol test evaluates the concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in your blood. Known as "good cholesterol," HDL is responsible for removing excess cholesterol from your bloodstream and delivering it to the liver for processing and excretion. In addition, it helps to strengthen cells, reduce inflammation, fight free radicals, prevent blood clot formation, and support cardiovascular health. This test is often included in a broader lipid profile, which checks various types of fats in the blood, such as LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides. Healthy HDL levels are essential for maintaining a proper cholesterol balance in the body.

    If you are concerned about your heart health, getting an HDL cholesterol test in Noida can provide helpful insights to help you take preventive steps against potential heart diseases and enhance your overall health.

    HDL Cholesterol Test Parameters

    The HDL cholesterol test measures just one parameter: the concentration of HDL cholesterol in your blood. Cholesterol is transported from the liver into the bloodstream, where lipoproteins deliver it to cells for vital processes like building cell membranes and producing hormones. When cholesterol levels become excessive, they can accumulate in the bloodstream, increasing the risk of plaque buildup in artery walls (atherosclerosis). Abnormal HDL levels, whether too low or too high, may elevate the risk of heart disease or signal potential health problems.
