[NPInfo] Cholesterol

[VENDESUE at aol.com]

Listers,
 
Thanks for your input!  Her HDL is terrific (which contributes to her high 
total cholesterol) but the concern is the LDL and the non-HDL (at 189).   I have 
always considered a high HDL very protective, too (and it is)... until I have 
attended some CME classes that have stressed the importance of the non-HDL, 
even in the situation when the HDL is high. How are you using non-HDL?  
 
My plan was (is) to send her to a dietician and repeat the lipid panel in 6 
months (she is a pharmacist so is pretty aware of treatments).  I will repeat 
her CBC in a month or so.  
 
Thanks for your input!
 
Susan
