HDL
B
LDL

hemoglobin
D
plasmapheresis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ideally, your HDL should be 60 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or higher. Research shows this can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. However, these are the normal ranges for adults: 40 or higher in people assigned male at birth (AMAB).
