My lipid panel total cholesterol 284, hdl 116, ldl 157, trig 56, vldl 11, t chol/ hdl ratio 2.4?

Lipids: Good and nots so bad . Your HDL is excellent your LDL is mildly elevated likely would not treat w meds.

Need Information: Both labs and risk factors are important in knowing cardiovascular (cvd) risk. More than cholesterol, cvd is related to the number of LDL (ldl-p) and HDL particles (hdl-p). Because cholesterol in LDL and HDL particles is highly variable cholesterol levels often disagree with particle number. When cholesterol and particle number disagree cvd risk tracks with ldl-p and hdl-p, not ldl-c or hdl-c.
