Combined hyperlipidaemia
LDL of 178 mg/dL sits well above the optimal range with mildly raised triglycerides — the common pattern for a diet-and-weight driven picture rather than a secondary cause.

How to read this
Every value is checked against the range printed on the report.
A pattern is explained in plain English, with its uncertainty.
A clinician still needs your history, exam and repeat tests.
Your results
| Test | Result | Reference | Flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total cholesterol | 268 mg/dL | < 200 | High |
| LDL cholesterol | 178 mg/dL | < 100 | High |
| HDL cholesterol | 38 mg/dL | > 40 | Low |
| Triglycerides | 210 mg/dL | < 150 | Borderline |
| HbA1c | 5.9 % | < 5.7 | Borderline |
| TSH | 2.10 mIU/L | 0.45 – 4.50 | Normal |
What this is consistent with
LDL of 178 mg/dL sits well above the optimal range with mildly raised triglycerides — the common pattern for a diet-and-weight driven picture rather than a secondary cause.
HbA1c of 5.9% falls in the prediabetes band. A single result needs confirming, but it is consistent with insulin resistance rather than normal glucose handling.
Worth ruling out — a first-degree relative with heart disease at 62 raises the pre-test probability — but an isolated panel is more often dietary.
Red flags
None. Nothing in this panel indicates an acute problem — no indication of a heart attack, stroke or acute metabolic crisis. This is a preventive discussion, not an emergency.
Next steps
Book one appointment, bring this panel
The useful conversation is about overall 10-year cardiovascular risk, not any single number. That is what decides whether a statin is worth starting.
Confirm the HbA1c before acting on it
Prediabetes is confirmed with a repeat HbA1c or a fasting glucose. One borderline result is a prompt to re-test, not a diagnosis.
Dietary and weight changes move LDL measurably
Saturated fat, soluble fibre and weight reduction reliably lower LDL, and are worth starting regardless of what is decided about medication.
