A member asked:
Is slightly raised cholesterol is of concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Out of context: For a 22 year old? No one in American medicine even recommends cholesterol testing for someone in their 20s. Second, cholesterol is a panel, not one test. Your question does not reference the panel. Thus interpretation is impossible.
