A member asked:
Does atherosclerosis develop in person with high blood pressure but normal ldl cholesterol levels?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes. It is thought that the high blood pressure damages the vessel lining wall and lets cholesterol "leak" in. Esp if they also smoke. Remember that the lower the lipids and/or pressure the less likely hood the vessels will rust.

Good morning! I went to my PCP to have my blood work done for our HealthyReturns program. The blood work did not come back with all normal levels. My LDL was 121 and they called to tell me to return in 6 months to test again. However, the results show good for my total cholesterol on the HealthyReturns site. My Chloride levels and UR Spec Gravity is low. My Albumin, A/G Ratio, and Baso (Absolute) are high. Should I be concerned or get a 2nd test sooner? Questions Regarding Blood Work Results?
