LDL/HDL Ratio

The measurement of histamine in stool is a diagnostic tThe LDL/HDL ratio is a crucial diagnostic marker used to assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This ratio compares the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, to high-density lipoprotein (HDL), known as "good" cholesterol. LDL is responsible for transporting cholesterol to the arteries, where it can build up and form plaques that increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. HDL, on the other hand, helps remove cholesterol from the arteries, transporting it back to the liver for excretion or re-utilization. A higher LDL/HDL ratio indicates a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, whereas a lower ratio suggests a lower risk.st used primarily to detect and evaluate allergic reactions and inflammatory conditions in the gastrointestinal tract. Histamine, a biogenic amine, is released by immune cells in response to allergens and plays a key role in inflammatory processes. High levels of histamine in the stool can indicate gastrointestinal disorders such as food allergies, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and mast cell activation syndromes. This test helps in identifying the presence of excessive immune response and aids in the diagnosis and management of conditions related to increased histamine activity.
