Is An LDL Level Of 107 A Cause Of Concern?
Brief Answer:
results are fine
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
HDL is the good cholesterol and LDL is the bad cholesterol.
An HDL greater than 60 is good so your value is very good.
Your LDL is also ok. Though the theoretical normal range is 70 to 100, because your value is close to 100 it would be considered ok.
If there is a high risk of heart disease/stroke then the lower the LDL, the better. Risk is determined by age, smoking history, history of high blood pressure, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol ( a high HDL is good, low HDL means increased risk).
IF you have no history of smoking, normal total cholesterol and blood pressure then your risk is likely low.
Summary: the results are fine
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
