Non Fasting Lipids

[nailedit]

Had blood test done a few weeks ago. Recieved text from GP saying appointment has been made to discuss results.

Rang the surgery to ask why (because presumably if there was nothing wrong they wouldnt make an appointment)

Apparently my "non fasting lipids" were abnormal and the doctor wants to see me.

Anyone know what thats all about?

TIA

it is something to do with Cholesterol - but that is the sum total of my knowledge.

wolf's right - it is cholesterol

They give a good indication how likely you are to have coronary heart disease or a stroke...presumably yours are too high.

Don't let yourself worry unduly, nailedit. If your cholestrol levels are too high they will probably put you on a course of statins which will help lower your readings
