A member asked:
Hdl:102, ldl:124, trig:40, & total cholesterol:234. my question is can higher hdl cause total cholesterol to be elevated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it does: The total cholesterol is: LDL + HDL + TG/5. In this case, that would be 124 + 102 + 40/5 = 124 +102 + 8 = 234. Numbers are just numbers, without much meaning unless we look at the whole picture. That said, an HDL (known as good cholesterol) level of 102 is high and is generally a good thing.
