HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called 'good' cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a CD45 / Lca (Leukocyte Common Antigen) Test or Take a Scrub Typhus IgG/IgM-Rapid Test
