<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Testing ==<br /> Because of the high cost of directly measuring HDL and LDL ([[low-density lipoprotein]]) protein particles, [[blood tests]] are commonly performed for the surrogate value, HDL-C, i.e. the cholesterol associated with [[Apolipoprotein A1|ApoA-1]]/HDL particles. In healthy individuals, about 30% of blood cholesterol, along with other fats, is carried by HDL. This is often contrasted with the amount of cholesterol estimated to be carried within low-density lipoprotein particles, [[Low-density lipoprotein|LDL]], and called LDL-C. HDL particles remove fats and cholesterol from cells, including within [[artery]] wall [[atheroma]], and transport it back to the liver for excretion or re-utilization; thus the cholesterol carried within HDL particles (HDL-C) is sometimes called &quot;good cholesterol&quot; (despite being the same as cholesterol in LDL particles). Those with higher levels of HDL-C tend to have fewer problems with [[cardiovascular diseases]], while those with low HDL-C cholesterol levels (especially less than 40&amp;nbsp;mg/dL or about 1&amp;nbsp;mmol/L) have increased rates for heart disease. Higher native HDL levels are correlated with lowered risk of cardiovascular disease in healthy people.</div>
