Question 1

my ldl cholesterol, vldl chol ratio is high. are these related?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: Vldl (very low density cholesterol) is made in the liver, and contains both triglycerides (tg's) and cholesterol ( more tg's than cholesterol). Ldl is made in the blood stream from vldl, and contains more cholesterol, less tg's . Both have a protein called apob on the surface, but because LDL lasts longer , there is more LDL available. Both can cause plaque in arteries if levels are too high.

Question 2

female total cholesterol: 214 vldl: 31 = triglycerides:156 hdl: 80 ldl: 103 results; good, bad, indiferent, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Good: These values are perfect except for a minimal elevation of triglycerides. Do nothing.

Question 3

my lipid is normal except for my ldl cholesterol. i don't eat high fat foods. how do i lower it? is it genetic? total cholesterol 197, triglycerides 67, hdl cholesterol 63, vldl cholesterol cal 12, ldl chol calc (nih) 122 high, t. chol/hdl ratio 3?

Accepted Answer

: There are genetic components to the lipid profile. The rest of your numbers look like you are diet-controlling quite well. It may be that a medication would be needed to get the LDL lower so you should talk to your doctor to find out if medication is now indicated to get this number lower. This decision would be influenced by the rest of your clinical history and your cardiovascular risk factors.

Cholesterol: Hdl levels &gt;60mg/dl are good, 36-59 acceptable and 190 is very high.  The vldl normally ranges between 5 - 40 mg/dl. But to understand this you must have triglyceride levels, total cholesterol and a full detailed medical history and exam.

Low tests are good: This means you are very healthy and your heart/arterial risk is most likely very low from cholesterol or liver problems.

in my lipid profile examination triglycerides count is 260mg/dl, vldl cholesterol is 52mg/dl, ldl-210mg/dl,hdl-42mg/dl. is it harmful? remedies please

Harmful, see doctor: Your LDL, bad cholesterol is higher than desirable. Please see a doctor for advise about life style modifications and may be drug treatment. Try to lose weight.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually.
