El Cid   194 #1 Posted January 16, 2018 I like the topic of health, just got my blood test results back.  Serum cholesterol = 4 Serum HDL = 1.6 Serum triglycerides =0.5 Serum HDL ratio = 2.5 Serum LDL level =2.2  Doctors said all was normal, I am hoping the 4 is good, because google says around 5.7 is average. I did read something about adding HDL and LDL together; I am sure other might find this topic useful.  Liver test = DAL 355 Bilirubin =10 ATL level = 28 Albumin = 37 Alkaline phosphatase = 45  I am a 55 year old male, taking multivitamins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

gluedtopc   10 #5 Posted January 16, 2018 When I have mine done, the results tell you the guidelines with any of the results outside the guidelines shown in red.

El Cid   194 #6 Posted January 17, 2018 I can help you out there . HDL plus LDL =3.8,whatever that means��  After further research, it also says that 20% of the 0.5 Serum triglycerides should be added, which make it 3.9  But "Serum cholesterol = 4" means total cholestrol level.

autumn   10 #8 Posted February 26, 2018 Your results are very good but may I ask why you are taking multivitamins? Anything that your body doesn't need just makes expensive pee . You shouldn't take vitamins unless deficient and then if you are you would need a higher dose than would be in a multivitamins. Your body much prefers getting nutrients and vitamins from food . The only difference is vitamin D . Anyone living in the north needs to supplement from October to April as we don't get enough sunshine. ?

I dont mind spending money on my health.  If a person eats more fruit than average, they are probably getting too much of something, just like me with my multi-vitamins.  My results are very good, something must be causing me to be healthy.
