About This Test
The HDL Cholesterol test measures the level of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in the blood.
HDL is known as the “good cholesterol” because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver for disposal. Monitoring of HDL-cholestrol is important in the assessment of atherosclerotic risk. Elevated HDL-cholestrol concentrations protect against coronary heart disease (CHD), whereas reduced HDL-cholestrol concentrations, particularly in conjunction with elevated triglycerides, increase cardiovascular risk.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
