LDL is borderline high, VLDL mildly elevated. Regular cardio, low fat diet, and omega3 rich foods recommended. Reassess in 3 months.

On 25 October, some of my blood report values were high. I want to do blood tests for cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and homocysteine.

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.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have done CBC and lipid test. Please check my report and prescription if required. My triglycerides are 205, HDL is low at 35, and VLDL is above the normal range. What does it mean?
