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.
1 LDL (bad) cholesterol is hard and dense in small particles that can clog arteries. 2  LDLs pick up cholesterol from the liver and deliver it to cells. 3  HDL (good) cholesterol is large, light and fluffy. 4  HDLs remove excess cholesterol from the blood and take it to the liver.
