Not our job: You have not provided your cholesterol numbers or the complete test results. And you want us to comment on one of the panel? That is not it works. The whole panel is looked at as one. Your treating physician is responsible for explaining this to you. Also the Cardiology experts do not ever recommend testing cholesterol at your age. So, not sure why you are even having a test this early.
