We aimed to elucidate the correlation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and hematoma expansion (HE) following acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Lower HDL-C was associated with HE, especially in the non-lobar ICH caused by hypertensive microangiopathy. HDL-C might have protective potential against HE following ICH.
