What causes high HDL cholesterol and low RBC?

High HDL cholesterol and low RBC can be caused by many reasons.

If your HDL cholesterol is in between 40 mg/dL and 60 mg/dL and your RBC is in between 4.5 mil/uL and 5.5 mil/uL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for HDL cholesterol and RBC respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that decrease HDL cholesterol levels include:

• Liver disease
• Taking certain drugs such as corticosteroids
• Chronic kidney disease
