Would anyone happen to know the normal lab values of cholesterol screenings?

Question

I would like to know the normals specifically for HDL, Triglycerides, and the LDL, or if anyone can find a website they might be on?
Thank you for your time and kindness.

Answer 1

Cholesterol - <200 mg /dl (desirable), 200-240mg /dl (borderline), >240 mg /dl (high risk)

Triglycerides - <200 mg /dl (desirable), 200-400 mg /dl (moderate), >400 mg /dl (High risk)

HDL-Cholesterol - >60 mg /dl (Desirable), 35-45 mg /dl (moderate), <35 mg /dl (High risk)

LDL-Cholesterol - <130 mg /dl (desirable), 130-160 mg /dl (Moderate), >160 mg /dl (High risk)

Cholesterol to HDL Ratio - < 4.0(Desirable, 5.0 (Moderate), > 6.0 (High risk)

Answer 2

I disagree with First L (and Melmo) that her elevated LDL "is more than balanced out by her high HDL." The LDL is significantly elevated, whereas the HDL is only trivially up (see link, below). I believe that her risk of CAD is mildly elevated based on these numbers, but, given her age and gender (and the assumed absence of diabetes, smoking, etc) it does not need medical treatment at this point. Efforts at improving diet and, if appropriate, weight control would be helpful, and her lipids should be rechecked in 6-12mo.

Answer 3

THE NORMAL VALUES FOR HDL IS 29-67mg/dL FOR TRIGLYCERIDES IS BELOW 200 mg/dL AND FOR LDL IS LESS THAN 160mg/dL...

ALTHOUGH THESE REFFERENCE RANGES ARE FOR MY SPECIFIC COMMUNITY WHERE I LIVE IN. YOU CAN GOOGLE "LIPID PROFILE" AND GET REFFERENCE RANGES FROM LABORATORY WEBSITES.


HOPE THIS HELPS.
