Question

My husband, age 40 years, has Triglycerides 159, HDL 30, VLDL 32, and LDL 101. How is the report? I am concerned about HDL and VLDL.

Based on the test report, several values indicate either an increase or deficiency in health. Platelet distribution width (PDW) is 9.1 fl and platelet to large cell ratio (PLCR) is 13.7 percent. The APO B / APO A1 ratio is 1.3. Blood ketone (D3HB) is 0.2 mg/dl. Homocysteine is elevated at 46.6 micromol/L. Ferritin is high at 613.2 ng/ml. HDL cholesterol is low at 25 mg/dl, triglycerides are high at 227 mg/dl, TC/HDL cholesterol ratio is 7.1, LDL/HDL ratio is 4.6, and VLDL cholesterol is 45.4 mg/dl. Could you please suggest what action should be taken?
