What Cause High ESR And Low Triglyceride Levels?

I had some blood work awhile ago and am posting the results that were considered abnormal
Eosinophils 0.35 (ref range 0.00-0.20)
Basophils 0.5 (ref range 0.00-0.04)
Cholesterol 124 (ref range 150-200)
Triglycerides 39 (ref range 50-150)

((following are posted just as reference cause of low cholesterol))
HDL 66 (ref range >40)
LDL(Calculated) 50 (ref range 50-100)

I just wanted to know what these results mean and if I need to worry.

hello
i have gone through your reports. your serum cholesterol levels are low. so either you are dieting or avoiding fats in your diet for some reason. or you are very thin.
cholesterol in excess causes deposition of cholesterol in the arteries leading to blocks.
however that doesnt mean low cholesterol will help.
cholesterol plays an important role in formation of body steroids hence growth of the body, formation of bile salts and vitamins. therefore it is also necessary to include right cholesterol in diet.
you also mentioned a high ESR but i dint see a value. hence cant comment much. high ESR levels are found in infections including tuberculosis, autoimmune diseases (where body acts against its own cells)
we havr to rule out the causes of high ESR on basis of your symptoms. since you have enlisted no symptoms, i cannot comment any further.

thanking you
