Overview
The causes of an increased HDL cholesterol is centered around therapeutic measures aimed at treating low levels of HDL-C which is associated with a poor cardiovascular outcome. These measures may involve life-style modifications (e.g., aerobic exercises, weight loss, smoking cessation, consumption of dietary fibers) or with the use of medications (e.g., fibrates, niacin, statins). However, genetic factors which affect the catabolism of HDLs have also been implicated, for example, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency and familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia or hepatic lipase deficiency.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
High HDL does not have any life-threatening cause.
