Regarding cholesterol level
I did my Regular checkup from Thyrocare in April and my cholesterol was fine. But in May I did Lipid profile again after and my values were following - Hdl 30 LDL 90 VLDL 29 Triglycerides:145 Total cholesterol 218 This was done in a local lab only. On internet I read that total cholesterol is the sum of hdl+ldl+20% triglycerides which makes my sum as 149 for total cholesterol . Has the lab calculated serum cholesterol wrongly?
