Concerns about my Lipid Panel Results
by Starr825, Jul 18, 2008 05:30PM
I am a 51 year old woman who had a DVT and pulmonary emboli 1 1/2 years ago. Other than that the only only health condition I have ever had is I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. My endocrinologist just conducted extensive blood work and called me regarding my lipid panel results. I have always had a low Cholesterol reading but this time these were the areas that were out of range:
Cholesterol: 262 H
HDL Cholesterol: 38 L
Percent HDL: 15 L
LDL Cholesterol, Calc: 200 H
Chol/HDL Ratio: 6.9 H
GFR Estimated: 58 L
I am quite concerned because I have never had these levels out of range. I am not a smoker, do not have diabetes and there is very little heart disease in the family. Any thoughts or suggestions regarding diet, life style? I am already on warfarin and thyroid meds and really do not want to add more medications to my body. Any help is greatly appreciated.
