In my blood test result, under cholesterol, besides Triglycerides snd HDL, it has LDL, which I know is bad cholesterol, it has in parentheses (calc) and the number 135.4 mg/dl. I read that the number should be below 100, but my result was not flagged. Everything else in the cholesterol was normal. 2 following.
What is a normal LDL? An optimal LDL level for adults is less than 100 milligrams per deciliter, according to MedlinePlus. An LDL level of 130-159 milligrams per deciliter is considered borderline high, while a level of 160-189 is considered high. An LDL level over 190 milligrams per deciliter is very high.
