Doctors classify cholesterol into low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Doctors commonly call HDL cholesterol the “good” kind of cholesterol, because it circulates in the blood and removes excess, unwanted cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is the type that can lead to buildup in the body’s arteries.

Hope it helped
