Existence of substantial differences in HDL-c levels between different types of disease and sex highlighted that a higher HDL level does not always predict a better clinical outcome of patients. Moreover, we found that both HsCRP and RBP correlated negatively with HDL-c in HTN patients, indicating that monitoring HsCRP and RBP may serve as indicators for therapeutic efficacy of HDL-c-raising medications in HTN patients.
