A member asked:
My mom has high total cholesterol (220) but normal ldl (112) and normal hdl (97). is this a cause for concern or normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NOT: to worry ..although the "goals" for these values are gradually getting changed due to the availability of medications to lower total. LDL cholesterool and raise the HDL. Your Mom should consult her PCP aboout some of these medications and what the new levels are! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
