How normal is it to have higher hdl than ldl?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Not common: It's not common, but certainly does happen. Some individuals have genetically low ldl-c. High hdl-c may occur with exercise (especially young athletes), excessive alcohol use, genetics, etc. There is likely no danger to this combination, although excessive alcohol can have other bad effects. Generally speaking, low ldl-c and high hdl-c should protect you from coronary heart disease.

Abnormal -> Careful: Ldl particles, expressed as a concentration in nmol/l essentially always higher than HDL particle concentrations, expressed µmol/l. However, what is commonly promoted are estimations of cholesterol fat molecules associated beta-lipoproteins (ldl) or with alpha-lipoproteins (hdl). Theses value are not the correct issue & often misleading but promoted as cheaper way to estimate lipoprotein particles.

Hdl ldl: Having an HDL higher than your LDL is the dream of every cardiologist . Typical HDL is 35 - 40 LDL is 120-160.
