HDL
Benevolent lipid carrier
HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein, the so-called "good cholesterol" that helps remove other forms of cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Doctors monitor HDL levels alongside LDL (low-density lipoprotein) to assess cardiovascular risk: Her HDL was high, which offset some concern about her total cholesterol.
Higher HDL numbers are generally better.
