High density lipoprotein (HDL) Blood Test

HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN (HDL) BLOOD TEST

The HDL blood test measures the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in your blood.

Often referred to as "good cholesterol," HDL plays a key role in cardiovascular health by transporting excess cholesterol from the arteries to the liver, where it can be processed and eliminated.

Higher HDL levels are generally associated with a lower risk of heart disease and stroke, as HDL helps reduce plaque buildup in the arteries.
