Service Description
Biomarker: HDL-C Sample: BLOOD Results: 2 HRS Phlebotomy fee: £10 An HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) test measures the levels of HDL cholesterol in the bloodstream. HDL cholesterol is often referred to as the "good" cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from your body. HDL cholesterol is carried in lipoproteins, which are molecules that transport cholesterol throughout the body. HDL is a type of lipoprotein that helps remove cholesterol from the arteries and transport it back to the liver for disposal. A high HDL-C level is associated with a lower risk of heart disease. A low HDL-C level, on the other hand, is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. The symptoms of heart disease can include: -- Chest pain -- Shortness of breath -- Nausea -- Light-headedness -- Sweating
