What is the treatment for low HDL-hypercholesterolemia?

Low HDL-cholesterol hyperlipidemia common in obesity, smoking, lack of exercise, so, For HDL-cholesterol levels were reduced, it should be emphasized to the main public health measures at the front line of treatment, that is, physical inactivity, smoking cessation, weight reduction. Exercise training can be effective in improving serum HDL-cholesterol levels. Secondly therapy HDL-cholesterol levels to reduce the original disease, such as nephrotic syndrome, or diabetes. When the patients with coronary heart disease and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels increased with low HDL-cholesterol hyperlipidemia needs a lipid-lowering therapy , we should choose to increase HDL-cholesterol drugs, such as niacin. If patients could not tolerate the side effects of niacin can also use statin drugs, these drugs are mildly elevated HDL-cholesterol role. Hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol hyperlipidemia requiring treatment, it should be the first choice of nicotinic acid. Isolated Low HDL-cholesterol patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia exists, inappropriate use can reduce HDL-cholesterol drugs, If beta-receptor blockers, but to no impact on HDL-cholesterol drugs, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, Long-acting calcium antagonist. Isolated Low HDL-cholesterol without hyperlipidemia other serum lipid abnormalities, We do not recommend the use of higher HDL-cholesterol drugs as a pre-coronary heart disease prevention.
