Moderate Hypercholestrolmia

Hallu,

I just received my blood test result this afternoon and due to my frequent headaches that i got in past few days so i am already expected some bad news from the doctor.

Well, sadly it is a bad news indeed. Dengan dukacitanya, dimaklumkan i am a moderate hypercholesterolaemia. Adus, baru je semalam melantak sakan kan so nasib baik dah melantak sakan sebab start from tomorrow and onwards i need to be on a strict diet and it is gonna be absolutely suckssssss

So just some info on cholestrol la kan for u


Total Cholesterol Levels

One of the readings you will see from your laboratory results is a number for "total cholesterol." This will tell you the total number of all of the fats you have in your blood. According to the National Cholesterol Education Program:

• A desirable level is less than 200 mg/dL (5.17 mmol/L)
  
• Levels between 200 mg/dL and 239 mg/dL (5.17–6.18 mmol/L) are considered borderline for high cholesterol.
  
• Levels at or above 240 mg/dL (6.21 mmol/L ) are considered high total cholesterol levels. This may put you at an increased risk for heart disease.

It is important to note that you should not determine your cholesterol levels just by your total cholesterol level. This needs to be further broken down into LDL, HDL, and triglycerides in order to give you some insight into the types of cholesterol that are in your blood.

where am i? hmmm I AM iN RED GROUP

High Density Lipoproteins

High density lipoproteins, or HDL, are considered to be the "good cholesterol", because HDL’s role in the body is to take cholesterol to the liver for degredation or processing, as opposed to allowing the cholesterol to hang around in the blood. According to the National Cholesterol Education Program:

• Any HDL level above more than 60 mg/dL (1.56 mmol/L) is considered high. A high HDL level is considered very healthy, since it has a protective role in guarding against heart disease.
  
• An acceptable HDL range is between 40- 60 mg/dL (1.04–1.56 mmol/L).
  
• An undesirable level of HDL is any level below 40 mg/dL (1.04 mmol/L). In this case, low HDL levels may help to contribute to heart disease.

Where am i? i am in ACCEPTABLE range

Triglyceride Levels

Elevated levels of triglycerides are also a risk factor for heart disease. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute:

• Triglyceride levels should be below 150 mg/dL (1.69 mmol/L).
  
• Levels between 150 mg/dL (1.69 mmol/L ) and 199 mg/dL (2.25 mmol/L) are considered borderline high.
  
• Levels between 200-499 mg/dL (2.26-5.63 mmol/L) are considered high.
  
• Levels above 500 mg/dL (5.64 mmol/L) or considered extremely high.

YES, manage to slip in NORMAL group

Low Density Lipoproteins

Low density lipoproteins, also known as LDLs, are considered to be the "bad cholesterol". This type of lipoprotein circulates from the liver to other organs and tissues in the body, carrying cholesterol where it is needed. This type of cholesterol tends to linger and has been connected with various types of heart disease, including atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, and coronary heart disease. The current guidelines for LDL levels are:

• LDL levels less than 100 mg/dL ( 2.6 mmol/L) are considered optimal.
  
• LDL levels between 100 – 129 mg/dL (2.6–3.34 mmol/L) are considered near or above optimal.
  
• LDL levels between 130 – 159 mg/dL (3.36–4.13 mmol/L) are considered borderline high.
  
• LDL levels between 160 – 189 mg/dL (4.14 - 4.90 mmol/L) are considered high.
  
• LDL levels at or above 190 mg/dL (4.91 mmol/L) is considered very high.

OOOOOOOhhhhh oh oh oh my god, i think u can guess where am i belong to....memang jahat sangat kolestrol itewwwwwwww
