Brief Answer:
Hi

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.

Important aspects of your query are:
•     56 year old male
•     Query for current blood report: Thyroid 10.5 and LDL 371.
•     Past blood report: Thyroid 12 and LDL 356 three years back.

Thyroid function test measure T3/T4/TSH levels. Let me know which test had been done with your blood sample (t3/t4/TSH). In case of single test, usually lab do Serum TSH level. Its usually range is 0.5 to 5.5. In your case it appear higher than that. Which happen in hypothyroidism and it lead to decrease metabolism.

Apart from that you are having hyperlipidemia due to Higher LDL level. LDL should be less than 150. Hypothyroidism may also lead to hyperlipidemia due to reduction in fat metabolism.

So, Hypothyroism should be treated by thyroid medicines (like eltroxin). LDL also reduces by fat restriction in diet, daily 30 minutes cardio exercise and weight reduction.


I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.

Wish you good health.
Regards,
