What does it detect?

This Cholesterol test will show the level of healthy cholesterol in your blood. Furthermore, it is measured by a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) test. HDL is important in cholesterol metabolism, transporting from extrahepatic tissues to the liver for catabolism and excretion.

How to Increase the Level?

Physical activity can boost your HDL level. Altogether, you need at least 30 minutes of moderate activity a day. If overweight, losing extra pounds can help raise your HDL levels and reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels.

What are the Instructions for use?

Please take your LDL sample in the morning. Take it at least one hour before any medication.

HDL: it examines the amount in your bloodstream. If you have elevated cholesterol screening results, an additional HDL sampling may be conducted as a follow-up check.
