Is it dangerous for some ones health if has low hdl? And what is hdl? My friend got his blood results yesterday. She is very afraid, because she doesn't know anything about it. That is why I want to learn more about this. Maybe I can tell her something good about this.
Hdl is short for high-density lipoprotein. It is the type of cholesterol. It is usually caused by malnutrition, obesity, cigarette smoking. If your friend does not have anything of this, low hdl is good news. You can remember hdl as "helpful" cholesterol. Now you can tell your friend the good news.
