plasma high-density lipoprotein phospholipid measurement test 
A laboratory test which measures the amount of phospholipid (phosphorus-containing lipids composed mainly of fatty acids, a phosphate group, and a simple organic molecule) found in the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) fraction of plasma, the fibrinogen-containing fluid portion of the blood in which the particulate components are suspended. HDL is the smallest (diameter approximately 5-15 nm) of the major lipoprotein particles, complexes that consist of a protein layer surrounding a core of lipids.
