your mother has hemoglobin level of 11.1 which is acceptable in woman,her platelts are on lower side ,which need to be looked into
Total cholesterol is high but the triglycerides need early treatment as it is 326 mg ,her ldl and hdl are fine .
Nonpharmacologic treatments are important in the therapy of hypertriglyceridemia. : ;

From what i see triglycerides are raised rest i don't see anything too significant. Hb is acceptable though I'm not sure why platelets are low. Did she recently have some infection or anything? Kindly update regarding the same... Rest HDL, LDL are good just triglycerides need to be managed. This could mean both non drug management. Omega 3 could be good for controlling these, rest some dietary modifications can help too. Like reducing carbohydrates and fat intake( especially saturated ones)
Next Steps
get her tested 3 months later, good luck
