Serum HDL Cholesterol

The Cholesterol-HDL test determines the concentration of HDL, or good cholesterol, in the blood.

Suppose you have a family history of heart disease or risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, and obesity. In that case, you may order this test as part of a standard examination.
