Lipid Panel results...

[APshin]

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to be on TRT soon. I'm wondering how my baseline lipid panel looks?

Thanks in advance.

Cholesterol total 216
triglycerides 68
HDL 121
VLDL 14
LDL 81
T.chol/HDL ratio 1.8

Looks like you copied the markers wrong or you have an unusual HDL range at your lab.

As far as my training goes I was a very competitive wrestler for a long time (4 years in HS and 4 years in College). I still train several days a week and do BJJ as well...in my down time I also do some sprint triathlons. I've always had endless cardio. I have another thread in the TRT forum detailing what looks like my journey to TRT. A long story short I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis shortly after college and have been on some pretty serious medications that I suspect might have nuked my T levels for good. This past year I've just felt constantly run down (the overtrained feeling) 24/7. I guess my main question is with my total cholestrol being out of range do I have to worry about croaking before I hit 30??

HDL is GOOD cholesterol. Yours is very good.

How worried should I be about my total number?

You shouldn't be worried at all. The majority of your total is GOOD cholesterol.

I'd like to borrow some of your HDL #s there buddy.
