What Does The LDL Level In My Blood Test Result Indicate?
Question: I just had a blood test done. I am 59 years old, white female. My HDL is 55, LDL 132, triglicerides 59, overall cholesterol/HDL ratio is 3.6 Cholesterol is 199. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Only LDL slightly elevated....
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your blood test report, and I have noticed that all your blood cholesterol numbers were withing the normal range, except for LDL which is borderline high. I do not see anything you should be worried about, just keep on eating healthy and conducting a healthy lifestyle regimen.
God bless!
