High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Test

• HDL is a test for your good cholesterol. The test measures if you have a high level of good cholesterol to protect you from getting coronary artery disease.
  
  

Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)

• LDL is a test for your bad cholesterol. This test measures if you have a high level of this type of cholesterol, which puts you at risk for having cardiovascular disease.
  
  

Total Cholesterol Test

• This test is given to check the levels of all cholesterols and triglycerides. This test lets you know if you are a candidate for coronary artery disease.
  
  

Coronary Risk Profile

• This test gives you an idea of your risk for heart disease. If you are proven to have abnormal levels with this test you may get heart or kidney disease and may be at risk for strokes.
  
  

Lipoprotein Fractionation

• This test measures how much HDL and LDL you have in your blood with a process called ultracentrifugation, which is where particles of differing weights are spun quickly, causing them to separate.
