A member asked:
My hdl is consistently around 171. no one is able to tell me what that means, given that the hdl chart pretty much tops at 100.

That's good: Of course it depends on your LDL levels if they are very high such as twice as high as the HDL levels that could be hyperlipidemia but probably they are low compared to the htl it's the ratio of ltl to htm less than two is excellent that's probably what you are i bet your cholesterol is about 250.
