Lipid Panel

Well, ranges and values always help, but…

  1. HDL is OK, but not great. ATP-III Guidelines state that HDL-C above 59mg/dL can be considered a negative risk factor for heart disease.
  2. LDL isn’t awful, but not great. I’m throwing this out there knowing that all the high fat disciples will come in screaming about particle size, fluffiness and blah blah blah. Come at me, bros.
  3. TC isn’t awful, but not great. This is due to both 1 and 2.
  4. TG need to be addressed. Normal is <150.

Your results are not awful, but, while we shouldn’t have to amputate anything in the near future, you would do well to take some steps to address this.

You can read a little more on the test you had performed, along with some recommendations for your TG level, here:
