This test is used for cardiovascular risk screening, especially if you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, or a family history of early heart disease.

Typically, fasting for 9 to 12 hours before the blood draw is required. You should only consume water during this fasting period. Avoid high-fat meals and alcohol for 24 hours prior to the test.

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is known as 'bad' cholesterol because high levels can cause plaque buildup in arteries. HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is 'good' cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the blood.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a biomarker that measures low levels of inflammation in blood vessels, helping to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

This test is done to measure HDL cholesterol, a type of lipoprotein that helps transport excess cholesterol from the bloodstream to the liver for removal. Higher HDL levels are generally protective, while low levels are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. It is commonly included in lipid profile testing.
