Dr. Liu Aifen
Low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels are associated with numerous factors and represent a form of dyslipidemia. Long-term smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes mellitus, and kidney disease may all contribute to this condition. Additionally, certain medications may also lead to reduced HDL levels. If patients experience any discomfort or symptoms, they should seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital.
