Overview

What is Cholesterol Hdl ?

Cholesterol is a waxy material in our body that plays a vital role in helping your body cells in functioning properly. On the other hand, the accumulation of specific kinds of cholesterol in your arteries might increase your risk of heart attacks, strokes, heart disease, and other illnesses.

HDL-C is often referred to as “good cholesterol” as it is associated with good heart health. On the contrary, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is designated as “bad cholesterol” as it is associated with poor cardiovascular health status.

HDL-C is generally measured along with other cholesterol as part of the lipid panel test. The common lipid panel test measures HDL-C, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, providing overall analysis of heart health and vessel health status.

What is the Cost of Cholesterol Hdl

The Price of a HDL Cholesterol Test is Rs. 200. However, cost of the test may fluctuate depending on following factors:
  • Other tests advised along with HDL Cholesterol Test
  • Offers or discounts
  • Empanelment of the patient

What is the Purpose of the Cholesterol Hdl ?

HDL Cholesterol Test is advised to for following analysis:
  • Screening: Cholesterol levels can be routinely assessed in adults and children who do not even exhibit any signs of cardiovascular disease. Heart disease and stroke risk factors have been linked to low HDL-C levels. Moreover, type 2 diabetes is linked to it. This makes the early identification of potentially dangerous health issues possible with HDL-C testing.
  • Monitoring: This test can be advised to monitor and already diagnosed hypercholesterolemia or some heart disease. It is also advised to monitor the effect of ongoing treatment for hypercholesterolemia or certain heart disease.
  • Diagnosis: Rarely, HDL cholesterol testing is used for diagnosis—that is, figuring out what's causing a health issue after symptoms appear. If you experience certain cardiovascular symptoms, your doctor could recommend cholesterol testing. HDL-C levels are considered while diagnosing metabolic syndrome, a set of risk factors for diabetes, stroke, and coronary heart disease. Certain health issues impacting other organs can also be detected through this cholesterol testing.
