Hi dr my father had blood test today and all his numbers were within range except ldl which was 122 they said they will need to admit him but why :( ?

You may be confused: No one admits someone for an LDL, which is part of a cholesterol panel.

Makes no sense: That LDL is normal (normal is up to 130). Moreover, even if his LDL were 500, he wouldn't need to be hospitalized. There must be some other reason, perhaps you're not privy to?
