Clinical significance:

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) compose one of the major classes of plasma lipoproteins. They are synthesized in the liver as complexes of apolipoprotein and phospholipid and are capable of picking up cholesterol and carrying it from arteries to the liver, where the cholesterol is converted to bile acids and excreted into the intestine. An inverse relationship between HDL cholesterol (HDLc) levels in serum and the incidence or prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been demonstrated in a number of epidemiological studies. The importance of HDL cholesterol as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease is now recognized.1-3 Accurate measurement of HDLc is very important when assessing patient’s risk for CVD.
