See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your LDL and cholesterol are higher than desired. Avoid saturated fats, lose weight, exercise and if need be take statins. Wish you good health!
