Hello listers!
 
I have interesting results on the lipid panel of a patient.  How would you 
proceed?
 
Total Cholesterol    300
TG                         65
HDL                      121
LDL                      164
(can't remember VLDL but you can figure out the ratio and the non-HDL's)
 
Other information about the patient:  BMI 19 ; age 25, female; WBC is 2.8 
(besides the low polys and lymphs on the diff, all the rest is normal on the

CBC); TSH 1.2;  CMP results were normal; Vitamin D level is 62.  
 
Thanks for your input!  
 
Susan
