HDL Cholesterol

HDL Cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) is often referred to as the "good" cholesterol because it helps transport cholesterol from the arteries to the liver, where it is processed and removed from the body. Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack and stroke, as it helps keep the blood vessels clear of cholesterol buildup. The HDL Cholesterol test measures the amount of HDL in the blood and is commonly included in a lipid panel to assess overall heart health.
