Cholesterol 2017: Part 3
It's been 4 months since the general health screening. There was about a month delay in retesting due to various reasons, especially during two 11-day periods of illness after coming back from Butterworth.
As advised by doctor, I retested cholesterol level and the other red flags. MCV (slightly high), MCH (slightly high) and WBC (low) remained more or less unchanged while total bilirubin reduced significantly, although still elevated. Doctor wasn't concerned about these and was fine that I retest these during my planned yearly general health screening.
As for the cholesterol test,
Jun 2017 Ref. range Oct 2017 Ref. range
Total cholesterol 6.4 < 5.2 6.2 < 5.2
HDL ("good") 1.50 > 1.04 1.57 > 1.04
LDL ("bad") 4.2 < 2.6 3.9 < 2.6
Triglycerides 1.6 < 1.7 1.5 < 1.7
Total/HDL ratio 4.3 < 5.0 3.9 < 5.0
Not much difference :(
So it's another 3-months of Fenofibrate and then a re-test.
