A member asked:

Total cholesterol 159--triglycerides--49-- hdl 59-- ldl--90-- is that normal for triglyceride..thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low triglycerides.: That result is low (normal being below 150), but that's also quite good. It's more heart-protective that the triglycerides and LDL are low and the HDL is quite high, relatively. It's a good cholesterol profile.
