Hi, this is my dec. test. 65 y old female, non smoker 60 kg, on Letrozol while my cholesterol went up. This is second test, which is 40 point lower than the first only with diet and ex. HDL is bad? CHOLESTEROL      252 mg/dL      0 - 200 mg/dL Reference range based on ATP III Guidelines(National Cholesterol Education Program) Desirable: Borderline: 200-239 mg/dL High: /= 240 mg/dL TRIGLYCERIDES      50 mg/dL      30 - 150 mg/dL Reference range based on ATP III Guidelines(National Cholesterol Education Program) Normal Borderline High: 150-199 mg/dL High: 200-499 mg/dL Very High: /= 500 HDL      97 mg/dL      30 - 60 mg/dL Reference range based on ATP III Guidelines(National Cholesterol Education Program) Low: High: /= 60 mg/dL VLDL      10 mg/dL      7 - 24 mg/dL LDL CHOLESTEROL CALCULATED      145 mg/dL       If Triglyceride 400 mg/dl LDL cannot be calculated,(Reflex to Direct LDL). ATP III Classification (LDL) Optimal Near/Above Optimal 100-129 mg/dl Borderline High 130-159 mg/dl High 160-189 mg/dl Very High 190 mg/dl Current guidelines for statin treatment is based on LDL level. At this time, no changes will be made to current reference ranges based on ATP III classification. NON HDL CHOL      155.0       Reference range based on ATP III Guidelines(National Cholesterol Education Program) Non-HDL is a secondary target of therapy when Triglycerides are 200 mg/dL after LDL goal is reached. CHOL/HDL RATIO      2.60 ratio      0.00 - 5.00 ratio
