__NOTOC__
{{High density lipoprotein}}
{{CMG}}

==Overview==
The causes of elevated high-density lipoprotein (HDL) include life-style measure such as [[aerobic exercise]]s, [[weight loss]], [[smoking cessation]], consumption of [[dietary fiber]]s), as well as medications (e.g., [[fibrates]], [[niacin]], [[statins]]). [[Genetic]] factors which affect the catabolism of HDLs have also been implicated in elevated HDL serum concentration, including [[Cholesterylester transfer protein|cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency]] and [[Hepatic lipase|familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia or hepatic lipase deficiency]].

==Causes==

===Life Threatening Causes===
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

High HDL does not have any life-threatening cause.
