High HDL may be normal and protective, or it may be an abnormality of lipid metabolism caused by liver or small intestine disease.
HDL cholesterol is one of the body’s apolipoproteins, HDL mildly elevated refers to suggest that the body’s anti-atherosclerotic ability to enhance, can be recognized as a protective indicator. However, it is not the higher the better, for HDL elevation, specific analysis is as follows:
1. If HDL is within the normal range, or mildly high, it may be caused by changes in diet or exercise.
2. If the HDL is elevated 1 to 2 times the normal level, it suggests that the metabolism of the liver or small intestine is disturbed, thus causing abnormal elevation of HDL.
If HDL cholesterol is too elevated, further examination at the local hospital is needed to clarify the cause and treatment.
