Triglycerides & Gomerular Filt.
:confused: I just had a lipid profile, which showed that my total cholesterol was 172, my LDL was 86, my HDL was 44, my Glucose was 103, and my Triglycerides were 212. Why would my Triglycerides be so high when my overall cholesterol and LDL was so low? Also, a few other results seemed unusual, but my doctor said not to worry. First, my Glomerular Filt. Was >60, but <90. According to the report, it needs to be >90 to have normal kidney function. Next, my CO2 level was 29.5, when it should be between 22-29MMOL/L. Next, my ALT/SGPT was 69, when it should be 30-65 IU/L. Everything else, including a complete blood count came out normal. I'm especially concerned about the Triglycerides and the Glomerular Filt. The Glomerular Filt shows that I have Stage II Kidney problems. How can my doctor tell me that I should disregard all of these abnormalities. Thank you in advance.
