High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are a class of particles that carry cholesterol in the blood. They are composed mainly of protein, with a small amount of cholesterol. HDL is considered beneficial because it removes excess cholesterol from the tissues and transports it to the liver for elimination from the body. For this reason, HDL cholesterol is known as «good» cholesterol. The HDL test measures the concentration of HDL cholesterol in the blood.
