I have active autoimmune connective tissue disease.could that be why hdl is >100? ldl is <100. i eat healthy and exercise. or is hdl >100 a good thing
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely related: Hdl cholesterol (hdl-c) > 100 is uncommon. In general, high hdl-c may be the result of genetics (hyperalphalipoproteinemia), exercise, increased alcohol intake, or medications (niacin, fibrates). Rare causes include obstruction in the biliary tract, very high blood levels of dilantin, and organophosphate toxicity. In some cases high HDL is not protective due to poor HDL particle functionality.
