What is HDL or good cholesterol?
HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is referred to as good cholesterol because it carries cholesterol from your blood to your liver for removal. This reduces the risk of heart disease.
How can I check my cholesterol level?
You can book a lipid profile test with any accredited laboratory to monitor your total cholesterol, LDL levels, HDL levels, triglycerides, and the ratio between cholesterol and HDL. You may need to fast for 10-12 hours before giving your blood sample for this test.
What is the normal cholesterol level in a blood test?
Your total cholesterol level should be between 125 to 200 mg/dL, LDL should be less than 100 mg/dL, and HDL should be 40 mg/dL or higher.
What will happen if I have high cholesterol?
High cholesterol can lead to the buildup of cholesterol on the walls of your arteries. This condition causes arteries to become narrow, reducing blood flow to the heart, which may result in a heart attack or stroke.
