Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited defect in how the body recycles LDL (bad) cholesterol. As a result, LDL levels in the blood remain very high – in severe cases, levels can reach above 190 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) of blood.
It sounds like 200 is still trouble. Was it even higher before?
- FollowingTheDao 3y agoYes, it was 290 but my HDL was also 30. I just focus on the HDL now. And the doctors no longer bug me about being on a statin.
