A member asked:
Do i need a statin? my ldl is 140 but my hdl is 110.

Depends: An HDL of 110 is higher than usual. You may wish to have the test repeated to make sure the values are right. It is usually not a good idea to treat lab results. Your doctor needs to look at risk factors for heart disease before prescribing statin.

Check Correct Issues: Best check actual lipoprotein values by NMR lipoprofile, <$100: LDL is always in nmol/l, best <700, HDL in µmol/l, large HDL best >10. These are the correct issues. Lipoproteins carry all fat molecules (including cholesterol) in the water outside cells. (cholesterol is a fat molecule made by every cell, promoted for lower test price but is not correct, the ldl-c value is only estimated).
