No, it is not yet in the danger zone. It will come under the danger zone if your levels goes above 200mg/dl

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a Apollo Basic Hormone Check Test or Take a Free Prostatic Specific Antigen (FPSA)- Serum Test

Book Apollo Basic Hormone Check Test Book Free Prostatic Specific Antigen (FPSA)- Serum Test

Sir, I recently did an executive health check up. All my tests are normal except for high cholesterol. I am attaching the report for reference. Could you please advise what steps I should take to lower my cholesterol? Is this a serious issue, or can it be managed with exercise and a proper diet? My doctor has also advised taking Razel 10 mg daily at night. Please guide me

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.
