Latest monitor my health results.
Here are my blood test results, not all have ranges though, which is annoying. Vitamin D 172 nmol/L no range. Said it is high and I should stop taking it as too much can be harmful and there can be no more benefit derived from continuing to take it. Cholesterol profile 5.8 mmol/L( no range included

Triclycerides ratio versus HDL ?
My lipid profile has remained identical since last year, including HDL at 72/73. But triclycerides were 72 last year and now are 65. (I am 87). What does that mean ? And what action if any is necessary ?

Thoughts on cholesterol/statins
Just want to pick your brains, anyone who’s interested. My total cholesterol has increased in the last two years. These are the last three readings 5.2-5.5-6.0. I know 6 is borderline high; however, my HDL to total cholesterol ratio has always been good, present reading 2.83. My triglyceride levels are

Deranged bloods, no fatty liver no fibrosis
A little further down my road of tests, in summary I have no symptoms but it all started with a cholesterol test of 8.9, gp said it could be liver related as it’s too high to be diet. Had liver bloods and ALT was high at 150. Repeat test and ALT was 350.Refer to liver specialist, just had ultrasound

Why do you need cholesterol?
This was copied from an email I got so don’t go shooting the messenger if you don’t agree :). “I have been trying for years, decades actually, to raise my cholesterol. Finally after a more significant (call it strict if you like) change in diet, it’s happening and that’s a good thing. You see, low cholesterol

Plant Sterols and Levothyroxine
Being hypothyroid my cholesterol levels have been quite high-last reading was 7, 2 years ago. Have been using a proactive margerine as don't want to go on statins. Has anyone had any success with plant sterol supplements? Are they tolerated with levothyroxine? Any anecdotal experiences would be appreciated

Does Prednisolone affect Cholesterol levels and blood pressure??
Hi. Back in February (pre PMR) my cholesterol was HDL - 1.5 and LDL 3.8. Six months later (four months after commencing Pred) my levels are now HDL - 2.4 and LDL - 5.0!! My levels have never moved by much over the years and this was something of a shock particularly as it has happened so quickly.

He passed away a few years ago at 66 due to heart failure. He was told it was caused by

Kidney and liver issues with high thyroid antibodies?
I am wondering if any Hoshimoto sufferers with high antibodies also have poor kidney and liver numbers in their bloodwork? This is the case with my 71 year old husband. He takes Armour 135mg daily and his most recent T4 and T3 were the best they have EVER been with T3 in upper 75% range and T4 under
