About test
What does HDL CHOLESTEROL - DIRECT measure?
This test measures high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often called “good” cholesterol, in the blood using a direct method. HDL cholesterol is part of a lipid profile and may help assess cardiovascular risk alongside other cholesterol and triglyceride results. A healthcare professional may order it during routine health checks, to monitor lipid levels, or to support evaluation of factors linked with heart and blood vessel health.
