High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)

High-density lipoproteins are mainly synthesized by the liver. It is composed of apolipoprotein, phospholipids, cholesterol and a small amount of fatty acids. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C): High-density lipoprotein cholesterol can be commonly understood as "good" cholesterol, anti-atherosclerotic cholesterol, because HDL-C reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. Basic Information Specialist classification: cardiovascular examination classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Common in cerebrovascular disease coronary heart disease, hypertriglyceridemia, liver damage such as acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer diabetes, smoking, lack of exercise. Normal value: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (male): 0.9-1.83mmol/L High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (female): 1.1-2.0mmol/L Above normal: Primary high HDL (familial hyperalpha-lipoproteinemia). negative: Positive: Tips: Before the blood draw, you should maintain the original regular diet and keep your weight constant. Normal value Male <40 years old 0.78 ~ 1.53mmol / L (30 ~ 59mg / dl); Female <40 years old 0.86 ~ 2.0mmol / L (33 ~ 77mg / dl). Clinical significance Increased is generally considered to be of no clinical significance and can be seen in primary hyper-HDLemia (familial hyper-alpha-lipoproteinemia) and found that there are many long-lived families in this group. Those who receive estrogen, insulin or certain drugs (such as niacin, vitamin E, heparin, etc.) can also be increased. Reduction: common in cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease, hypertriglyceridemia, liver damage, such as acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, diabetes, smoking, lack of exercise. Its reduction can be used as a risk indicator for coronary heart disease. High results may be diseases: obesity, obesity in the elderly, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome considerations At the time of examination: the test should be carried out under the condition that the physiological and pathological conditions are relatively stable, and there should be no acute attack within 4-6 weeks. Before the test: Do not take certain drugs, such as birth control pills, certain antihypertensive drugs, etc., which may affect blood lipid changes, resulting in errors in testing.
