DL cholesterol (HDL-C) is often known as ?good cholesterol? because it is associated with better cardiovascular health. In contrast, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is called ?bad cholesterol? because it is associated with cardiovascular disease.
HDL cholesterol is almost always measured along with total cholesterol, and these two measurements are core parts of the lipid panel test. A lipid panel is a common test measuring HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and fat molecules called triglycerides.
The purpose of HDL cholesterol testing is to assess your cardiovascular health, including your risk for heart disease. HDL cholesterol is considered to be a good type of cholesterol that is associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease events.
Measuring HDL cholesterol and total cholesterol together in the same blood sample allows the doctor to easily calculate the ratio of HDL cholesterol to non-HDL cholesterol. This is important for assessing your cardiovascular health and allows the doctor to understand the relative amounts of good and bad cholesterols.
Testing of HDL cholesterol can play a role in screening, monitoring, and diagnosing problems that affect your heart, blood vessels, and blood circulation.
