Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason for the high HDL (high density lipoprotein) level leads to lower LDL (low density lipoprotein) level.

Introduction:

The analysis of the levels of cholesterol, HDL and LDL was estimated from the blood sample of patient in the medical laboratories. The cholesterol lipoprotein levels accounts for the total concentration of HDL and LDL lipoproteins in the blood. The LDL levels are calculated by subtracting the total HDL concentration from the total cholesterol concentration in the blood. This indicates that the increase in HDL concentration leads to the decrease in the concentration of LDL in the blood sample of the patient.
