Overview
High HDL level has been defined as an increase in the serum HDL level above 60mg/dL.[1]
Definition
Normally, HDL levels range from 40 mg/dL to 60 mg/dL. Based on many epidemiological studies regarding HDL, value of ≥60 mg/dL is considered high. The serum HDL level is recommended to be as high as possible, but at least ≥40 mg/dL in men, and ≥50 mg/dL in women.[1][2][3]
