Test your
Uric Acid/Cholesterol HDL Ratio
Looking for an easy way to test and monitor your Uric Acid/Cholesterol HDL Ratio?
It's included in the HealthieOne Complete test.
Uric Acid/Cholesterol HDL Ratio
Explanation: The Uric Acid/HDL-C ratio compares the amount of uric acid, a waste product from breaking down food and body cells, to your "good" cholesterol. Uric acid becomes a problem when your body makes too much or your kidneys can't eliminate it properly, leading to inflammation and reduced production of nitric oxide, which normally keeps blood vessels healthy and relaxed. HDL cholesterol is protective because it removes cholesterol from artery walls and fights inflammation.
Test purpose:
- Assess inflammation and cardiovascular risk: The ratio reveals hidden inflammation that damages blood vessels and increases heart attack and stroke risk.
- Monitor metabolic health: Track whether lifestyle changes, diet modifications, or medications are improving your overall metabolic function and reducing disease risk.
Note: Universal clinical reference ranges have not been established for this calculated marker. Available cutoffs vary by population and clinical context. This value should be interpreted alongside individual component values, clinical history, and other relevant biomarkers.
