Transasia HDL Cholesterol Direct Kit (2x40ml)

Diagnostic reagent for quantitative in vitro determination of HDL Cholesterol in
human serum and plasma. 

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) compose one of the major classes of plasma
lipoproteins. They are synthesized in liver as complexes of apolipoprotein and
phospholipid and are capable of picking up cholesterol and carrying it from arteries to the liver, where the cholesterol is converted to bile acids and excreted into
the intestine.
An inverse relationship between HDL Cholesterol (HDL C) levels in serum and the
incidence/prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) has been demonstrated in
a number of epidemiological studies. The importance of HDL C as a risk factor for
CHD is now recognized.1-8
Accurate measurement of HDL C is of vital importance when assessing patient’s
risk for CHD.
