Cholesterol HDL
Explanation: High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is known as “good” cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood and arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Test purpose: An HDL test is used to assess cardiovascular health and cholesterol balance. High HDL levels (Good) are generally beneficial, as it helps protect against heart disease. Low HDL levels (Bad) increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes).
- Determine heart disease and stroke risk.
- Evaluate cholesterol levels as part of a routine lipid panel.
- Monitor the effectiveness of lifestyle changes or cholesterol-lowering treatments.
