Understanding Cholesterol - HDL in Mumbai

What is Cholesterol - HDL in Mumbai?

The Cholesterol - HDL test, often done as a part of the lipid profile, measures the levels of High-density lipoprotein(HDL) or the ‘‘good’ cholesterol in the blood and is essential for assessing cardiovascular health. Available at an affordable price in Mumbai with Tata 1mg labs, this test tells about the amount of ‘good’ cholesterol present, which helps remove Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or the ‘‘bad’ cholesterol from the arteries and reduces the risk of heart disease. Higher HDL cholesterol levels are desirable for maintaining heart health. No fasting is required for this test. Eat and drink as per your daily routine.

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.
