What is Lipid profile test?
Lipid profile is a test using electrophoresis to differentiate between the different types of lipids. A standard test will separate the lipid component of the plasma into TriGlycerides, High Density Lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL), Very Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL) and Total Cholesterol (TC). From the previously mentioned lipids, one would calculate the Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol as well as the atherogenic indexes be it TC/LDL or LDL/HDL. Measuring the LDL directly is possible but is not standard. Other tests like sub-typing of the LDL or the HDL, as well as Lp(a) are not routein in most laboratories albeit they are frequently performed in research centers.
What does CHOL mean in a blood test?
CHOL in a blood test typically refers to cholesterol levels, which can be further broken down into different types such as HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol). These levels are important indicators of heart health and can impact overall well-being.
What does CHOL mean in blood test?
CHOL in a blood test typically stands for total cholesterol, which is a measure of the total amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both HDL (good) cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol. High levels of total cholesterol can increase your risk for heart disease and other health issues.
Why is the serum separator tube used?
The Serum Separator tube is used when they want to test the serum of the blood. For tests like (NA, K, CL, CO2, LD, HDL) any type of chemistry. It is also used for tests like neonatal bilirubin or an AFP non maternal. There is special gel that separates blood cells from serum, as well as particles to cause blood to clot quickly. The blood sample may then be centrifuged, allowing the clear serum to be removed for testing.
What is different between hdl and ldl cholesterol?
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is known as "good" cholesterol, as it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries and transport it to the liver for processing. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is known as "bad" cholesterol, as high levels can lead to plaque build-up in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. Maintaining a balance between HDL and LDL levels is important for heart health.
What is good chlesterol?
(HDL) High Density Lipoprotein
How do you know if you have hdl cholesterol?

To check your HDL levels, a doctor will administer a blood test, usually while fasting. It's recommended to have the test done at least every five years. Over 40 mg/dL for men and over 50 mg/dL for women is considered "good."
What does vldl ldl and hdl do?
The codes LDL, HDL and VLDL are all related to cholesterol screening and blood tests. These measure the lipoprotein in the blood. There are many benefits to having this test done.
My HDL cholesterol is 120. Is this a problem?
This is not a problem, on contrary this is very good, because HDL levels must be higher than 50 as yours. One advice: Please check the references of the lab you did the test to be sure.
What unit of measurement are HDL levels recorded in?
HDL also known as High Density Lipoprotein levels are a medical term to check your cholesterol level. They are measured in millimoles. This is done by a blood test in your doctor's office.
HDL is the cholesterol that is BAD for you?
HDL is the cholesterol that is BAD for you?

What does medical service code 80061 stand for?
CPT 80061 is the code for a lipid profile (or lipid panel).A blood test to determine the values for total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and often the mathematical ratio for total cholesterol/HDL .
When did HDL System happen?
HDL System happened in 2006.
Where can I get my HDL cholesterol levels tested?
You will need to go to the doctors office and make an appointment to have you blood drawn and then you will get the results. Depending on where they take blood it might be in a hospital or a clinic.
