Non-HDL-Cholesterol Blood Tests

Non-HDL cholesterol is a blood test that measures the amount of cholesterol in your body that is not considered "good" cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is found in your blood and is necessary for your body to function properly. However, having too much cholesterol, especially the "bad" kind, can increase your risk of heart disease and other health problems.

The non-HDL cholesterol test helps to assess your risk of developing heart disease by measuring the total amount of cholesterol in your blood that is not the "good" kind. This includes both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is often referred to as the "bad" cholesterol, as well as other types of cholesterol that can contribute to the build-up of plaque in your arteries.

By knowing your non-HDL cholesterol level, you can better understand your risk of heart disease and make informed decisions about lifestyle changes or medications that may be necessary to lower your cholesterol and protect your heart health.

It is important to maintain healthy cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of heart disease and other related complications.
