If we apply the formula Total cholesterol = HDL + LDL + TC/5, we can work out other values. Your doctor need to hep you understand the different values.

"How Total Cholesterol Is Measured. Your total cholesterol score is calculated using the equation: HDL level + LDL level + 20% of your triglyceride level"

177= HDL+ 110 + TC/5.

There are two unknowns, HDL an triglyceride.

In the link below enter you values:

hughcalc.org/chol.php

This is what came back

Your Total Cholesterol of 177 is DESIRABLE

Your LDL of 110 is NEAR OPTIMAL

You need HDL and Triglyceride to get more understanding and also to look at rick calculator.
