A member asked:

2 triglyceride: 133 cholesterol total: 132 cholesterol hdl: 37 cholesterol ldl: 72 cholesterol total/cholesterol-hdl ratio: 3.6.1 good? ok? bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numbers are numbers: Lab results usually are numbers, and numbers are just numbers, with little meaning unless a doctor takes in the whole picture of what's going on. The ordering doctor may or may not consider the results a problem, depending on the patient's illnesses, bodily condition, life habits, and exercise activities. It's better to have HDL at 50 or higher. TG in the 130's is ok, but 120's might be better.
