What does the blood test with cholesterol 264 indicate?
Patient: I gave blood last week and my cholesteral level was 264.  It has been running around 210 to 220 but my HDL was over 75 and my LDL was 130. My ratio is 2.9 should I get it rechecked. My last Dr. Blood test was in Jan. or do you thing the 264 was a fluke. I eat very healthy and exercise almost on a daily basis Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question.
