Package Description

The HDL Cholesterol Test (HDL test) is one of the most important blood lipid tests used to assess heart and cardiovascular health. HDL is known as “good cholesterol” because it helps remove bad cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver for elimination. Low HDL levels may be a key reason for fatigue and increased risk of heart disease.
