High-density lipoprotein (HDL):A type of cholesterol that helps to decrease buildup of LDL in the blood vessels; also known as "good cholesterol" Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL):Like LDL, it's also a "bad" form of cholesterol. If you fasted before your lipid panel test, higher-than...
On the other hand, HDL cholesterol is usually nicknamed “the good cholesterol” because high blood levels are associated with less risk of heart disease whereas low concentrations are correlated with increased risk. In other words; there is an inverse relationship between HDL cholesterol and the ri...
Precipitation and retention on non-HDLs takes place by a vertical or dead-end filtration in a single layer. The reaction layer produces a color, the intensity of which is proportional to the concentration of HDL cholesterol in the blood sample which is applied to the test strip. Advantageously...
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) always underestimates the true cholesterol burden in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to compare LDL-C and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in the identificat
Few days ago I have had a blood test and yesterday I've got the results. If I understood correctly, there are several types of cholesterol such as some LDL, HDL, lipoproteins and others… Some of those are in normal limitations but some of them are a bit high. A friend told me that...
An HDL-cholesterol test is a routine blood test that can help your doctor estimate your risk of heart disease. More recently, scientists have discovered that HDL is made up of particles of different sizes. Having higher levels of large HDL particles is strongly associated with a lower risk for...
Height and weight were examined on the same day. Body weight (kg) divided by height squared (m2) was used to calculate the body mass index (BMI). This study used fasting blood samples to assess metabolic variables using standard laboratory testing. Data collected for this study included ...

Bottom line:There are many unanswered questions about HDL. It's becoming increasingly clear that there's more to it than that single number from a basic blood test. Still, low HDL is, at the very least, a marker for increased cardiovascular risk, and should be considered in the context of...
