No special treatment is needed if HDL is high. This is because a high HDL means that the patient is less prone to atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. It is the only lipoprotein in the blood that has anti-atherosclerotic effect. If HDL is low and LDL and cholesterol are also high. Then patients are advised to take oral statins because they help to lower cholesterol and LDL and raise HDL at the same time. For patients with low HDL who do not have any underlying disease, then no special treatment can be used first. It is recommended that patients pay more attention to regular work and rest, low salt and low fat diet, quit smoking and drinking, and keep a happy mood to gradually help normalize HDL. Patients should also pay attention to proper exercise and weight loss, which can also help to keep HDL within the normal range or possibly increase HDL.
