HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is a type of “good” cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver for processing. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. It is commonly used as part of cardiovascular risk assessment and in monitoring response to lifestyle or treatment interventions.

The findings related to these particular clinical tests are a general guide and do not cover every possible scenario, this is because every patient is unique and these results only have true clinical significance when combined with the patient’s full medical history, a physical exam, and other diagnostic findings.
