Strange Cholesterol Labs

[danielvp]

Hey guys I just got back some labs I ran due to a suspected UTI, and my LDL cholesterol is the highest I've ever seen. My highest total cholesterol score before this was 170 with a HDL of 43. Anyways here are the values from the Lipid Panel taken yesterday:

Total cholesterol: 396 ref range: <200 mg/dL

HDL cholesterol: 60 ref range: >40 mg/dL

Triglycerides: 88 ref range: <150 mg/dL

LDL cholesterol: 316 ref range: <150 mg/dL

If anyone has any feedback on what could cause such a ridiculously high LDL, I'd really appreciate it.

Some background info on me: no AAS in the last 18 months, but I use GH/MK/Peptides year round. Lift 5+ days per week, 60+ minutes of cardio a day, eat extremely clean, and do not use alcohol or rec drugs other than daily marijuana. 6' 188 lbs ~15% bodyfat

Did you eat anything the day you had your blood work done?

How long ago was your last test? What were the levels for that one? Any family history of high cholesterol?

Nah, I fasted for 12 hours before the test like recommended.

2 years since the last lipid panel. Total was 170, HDL: 43. My dad's cholesterol isn't great, but he is on a high TRT dose. No other family cholesterol issues that I know of.

I can't wrap my head around how HDL and triglycerides are the best they've ever been, but LDL is fucked.

I would get retested pretty soon. Could be a screw up in the lab work. Happens more than you think

Yeah, I agree with getting a retest after a couple weeks at least. Sometimes weird things popup in labs, and then go away. If it's not been consistent with your other labs, then I wouldn't get too stressed about it yet.
