What does it detect?
This Cholesterol test will show the level in your blood. It is measured by a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) test. HDL is important in metabolism, transporting cholesterol 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”) 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 screening results, an additional HDL sampling may be conducted as a follow-up check.
High Level
The following conditions may cause high kidney levels:
- Hyperalphalipoproteinemia.
- Hypobetalipoproteinemia.
- Increased triglyceride clearance.
- Chronic liver disease.
