A member asked:
Did a cholesterol test & i don't know how to read it & total 144, hdl 35, total/hdl ratio 4.1 is this normal, high or low & bp 120/78?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cholesterol: The levels you report are basically normal. We also usually record the HDL and LDL as these give a bit more information. In someone with minimal or no risk factors an LDL up to 120 may be ok, if risk factors present we prefer 80ish. Hdl of 35 is a bit low.
