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 1 Apollo Doctors
Triglycerides (159) and LDL (101) are within acceptable limits. HDL (30) is slightly low, and VLDL (32) is slightly high, which can increase heart risk over time. Encourage daily 30 min walk, weight management, and a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and omega 3 (flaxseed, fish). Avoid junk food, sugary drinks, and smoking if applicable. You can book a Lipid Profile test again after 3 months to monitor improvement with lifestyle changes.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a Lipid Profile Test Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test

View allOne month back, I experienced a blackout while sitting in a bus. The doctor prescribed medicine after seeing high cholesterol: ROSEDAY 10. The doctor advised me to revisit after one month with an echo, lipid profile, and HUTT test. I am fine now. Please advise what I should do next?

Why are triglycerides high but cholesterol normal?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
Dear Doctor, please suggest what to do? My husband HDL levels are very low. He was using statins to control triglycerides, which were over 100 and are now 171. I am worried about his HDL levels. His lipid profile shows total cholesterol 118 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol 24 mg/dl, LDL cholesterol 60 mg/dl, triglycerides 171 mg/dl, TC/HDL cholesterol ratio 4.9, LDL/HDL ratio 2.5, VLDL cholesterol 34.2 mg/dl, and non-HDL cholesterol 93.6 mg/dl.
