Our HDL – Serum test measures the level of HDL cholesterol in your blood and is commonly used to assess cardiovascular risk. Lower HDL levels may be associated with an increased risk of heart disease. This test is typically performed alongside other lipid tests to provide a more complete picture of cholesterol balance and heart health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Tested South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47936571474075,"sku":null,"price":210.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/8586\/5021\/files\/ChatGPT_Image_Aug_20_2025_07_58_59_PM.png?v=1755716532","url":"https:\/\/www.get-tested.co.za\/products\/hdl-cholesterol-test","provider":"Get Tested South Africa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
