Understanding Cholesterol - HDL

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is essential for producing hormones and vitamin D and digesting the food. There are generally two types of cholesterol: low-density lipoproteins (LDL), or the "bad" cholesterol, and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), or the “good” cholesterol. HDL cholesterol plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. It helps remove excess LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream, thereby reducing the risk of plaque formation (fat, cholesterol, and other substance buildup in the walls of arteries) and subsequent heart conditions, such as heart attack, stroke, and angina.

Your doctor may suggest the Cholesterol - HDL test if you have risk factors contributing to low HDL levels, such as smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, genetic abnormality, etc. Low HDL cholesterol levels are generally associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Conversely, high HDL cholesterol levels are considered beneficial and protective against heart disease. No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine.

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. The results will help them evaluate your medical condition, make diet, exercise, or medication recommendations, and formulate an overall treatment plan.

What does Cholesterol - HDL measure?

The Cholesterol - HDL test measures the concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. HDL cholesterol plays a crucial role in maintaining cardiovascular health, as it helps transport excess low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from the bloodstream back to the liver for excretion. This process prevents plaque buildup on the blood vessel walls, which can cause them to become narrow and less flexible. Higher HDL cholesterol levels are generally associated with a lower risk of heart problems, such as heart attacks and strokes. By measuring HDL cholesterol levels, your doctor can assess your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and recommend appropriate preventive or treatment strategies, including lifestyle modifications and medications.
