Good result. No problems there.

Surely you were told the implications of the results by the surgery.

This is a guide for patients already at risk

Total cholesterol - equal or less than 5 mmol L
LDL cholesterol - equal or less than 3 mmol L
HDL cholesterol - equal or more than 1 mmol L
Tryglycerides - equal or less than 2 mmol L

But everyone should be assessed on their own risk factors and the results discussed with them.

Its ok, but I think your surgery should discuss your results with you as a matter of routine anyway.

thanks meg i went to doc yesterday and got him to explain the results he said they are good results but my good cholesterol is a bit low 0.8 and should be over 1.but this could be norm for me.he also said if i increase my excercise it should get higher as ive not been doing much latley because im agraphobic but going to try walk every day.he says walking is as good as any.my bad cholesterol is fine as i dont eat any fat really.the doc also said that when you hav low bad cholesterol and low good choleserol this usually always means lack of excersise.but said there is no danger to my health at all and should just walk more and forget about the results as they are not significint to me at present.anyway thanks again meg take care marcia
