My VLDL is 8?
Question:
Answers:
Your VLDL is actually your tryglyceride count. When calculating your total cholesterol, they will take the tryglyceride count and divide it by 5 to determine the tryglyceride count to be included in your total cholesterol count. This would mean that your triglyceride count was actually 40, divided by 5 is how they came up with the number 8. And no, I would not be concerned if your trigyceride count is considered a bit lower than normal, as triglycerides are is simply a fancy word for measuring the fat molecules in your blood, so the less the better, much like your LDL (bad cholesterol) numbers. I would venture to say that with your VLDL so low that your total cholesterol is also very low. If so, good for you!
