The lower the better: Granted,mother newest guidelines are rather vague about actual target LDL levels to achieve, the lower the better. 130 is good, 100 better, 70 awesome.

Good morning! I went to my PCP to have my blood work done for our HealthyReturns program. The blood work did not come back with all normal levels. My LDL was 121 and they called to tell me to return in 6 months to test again. However, the results show good for my total cholesterol on the HealthyReturns site. My Chloride levels and UR Spec Gravity is low. My Albumin, A/G Ratio, and Baso (Absolute) are high. Should I be concerned or get a 2nd test sooner? Questions Regarding Blood Work Results?
