Description
HDL Cholesterol Blood Test Kit for home delivery.
What is an HDL Cholesterol Test?
This Cholesterol test will show the level of healthy cholesterol in your blood. Furthermore, it is measured by a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) test. HDL is important in cholesterol metabolism, transporting from extrahepatic tissues to the liver for catabolism and excretion.
How to Increase HDL Blood Levels
Physical activity can boost your HDL level. Altogether, You need at least 30 minutes a day of moderate activity. If overweight, losing extra pounds can help raise your HDL levels and reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels.
Instructions for use
Please take your LDL sample in the morning. Take it at least one hour before any medication.
When you collect your sample, try the following tips:
- Drink plenty of water, as being well-hydrated will make it easier to collect your sample.
- Shower before you take your test or run your hands under warm water for a few minutes, as heat improves blood flow.
- Do light exercise (move around, walk, etc.) to get the blood flowing.
- Ensure your arm is below your heart level – let gravity do some of the work.
- Nails that are too long will make it difficult to collect a sample.
- Do not shake the sample vigorously but invert the tube gently ten times. (gently swirl the tube after each drop of blood).
- Do not squeeze (milk) the finger.
- Re-warm your hands during collection where needed.
- HDL: it examines the amount in your bloodstream. If you have elevated cholesterol-screening results, an additional HDL sampling may be conducted as a follow-up check.
