Hi, I recently had lab tests for cholesterol, and the results show high LDL, HbA1c, lipoprotein (36.09), and serum globulin (34.42). I have attached a screenshot of the report. Could you please advise which specialist I should consult for proper evaluation and treatment?

High LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein levels indicate a need for cholesterol management to protect heart health. A raised HbA1c suggests high blood sugar levels, requiring diabetes evaluation and control. Elevated serum globulin may need further evaluation but can be related to infections or inflammation. You should consult a physician or an endocrinologist for diabetes management and a physician or cardiologist for cholesterol management. Lifestyle changes with diet and exercise will help along with treatment.

I am a 39 year old teacher working in a school. My lipid profile test results are: triglycerides 194, total cholesterol 209, LDL cholesterol 131, HDL cholesterol 39, VLDL 39, total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio 5.36, and LDL cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio 3.36. Are my lipid profile test results normal or abnormal? If they are abnormal, what precautions should I take? Do I need to change my diet and avoid oily foods? Please suggest. Thank you. Regards, Minhaj
