Treatment and symptoms of HDL cholesterol 24 mg/dL | Diet for low HDL cholesterol level 24 mg/dL
Low HDL cholesterol level of 24 can cause a number of symptoms.
An abnormal HDL cholesterol level of 24 may affect how efficiently your body removes excess cholesterol from arteries. With an HDL value of 24, the body's ability to reduce plaque buildup and protect against heart disease could be compromised. HDL is often termed "good cholesterol" because it helps carry cholesterol back to the liver for excretion. Abnormal HDL levels may increase cardiovascular risk, and lifestyle changes or medications may be necessary to optimize lipid balance. While treatment methods are numerous, your diet should be the first thing to address.
