The Triglycerides Were 850 & Cholesterol Was 171 What It Suggest?
My triglycerides came back at 850. I am a 32 Year old woman in normal weight range. Other high numbers include cholesterol which was 207 and my total non-HDL cholesterol was 171. My LDL came back as "Invalid". What does this mean? Could this be an error?

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern, and would like to explain that the result of LDL as "invalid", raises high suspicions for a false result, probably caused by the lab machine.
Your abnormally high level of triglycerides is very concerning, but as long as you have not symptoms, a normal weight, this seems to be a very doubtful result.
I recommend repeating your lipidogram profile to be sure that this is just a lab error.
Hope to have been of help!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
