Recently had my blood work done and don't understand all the results, here are my numbers:
*it should be noted that I took myself off Lipitor in 9/07 to see how it would affect my numbers, the gross numbers did increase, the first numbers are the January '08 test, the numbers (x) are from a 11/06 test.
Total Cholesterol: 234 (149)
Total LDL: 144 (79)
Remnant Lipoproteins: 33 (23)
Total HDL: 60 (49)
Total VDL: 29 (20)
Total Tri: 122 (84)
Real LDL size pattern: A (B) could this change be due to my increase in Niacin, now 1.5 G nightly?
Sub Class information:
HDL-2: 14
HDL-3: 46
VLDL-3: 16 (high)
LDL4: 5.3
LDL3: 46.6
LDL2: 47.9
LDL1 20.0
We decided to resume the 20 mg of Lipitor.
Additionally I take:
1 aspirin
2 G pharmaceutical Fish Oil (each tab has 400 mg EPA & 200 mg DHA)
*considering increasing to 4 1 G softgel tabs daily
1.5 G flushing Niacin
Please advise if you see anything that's concerning or explanation on any of the results.
