Health Screening Results

[SmallTownIron]

I recieved my results today from blood work I done last week. I am VERY new to understanding the results. But forturnate enough the summary of the results shows what is out of range and etc.

Results:

Heart Blood Tests

CHOLESTEROL, TOTAL
Reference Range 125-200 139 mg/dL
HDL CHOLESTEROL
Reference Range > OR = 40 15 mg/dL
TRIGLYCERIDES
Reference Range <150 71 mg/dL
LDL-CHOLESTEROL
Reference Range <130 110 mg/dL (calc)
CHOL/HDLC RATIO
Reference Range < OR = 5.0 9.3 (calc)

Pancreas Blood Tests

GLUCOSE
Reference Range 65-99 84 mg/dL

My HDL levels are out of range and so is my CHOL/HDLC RATIO. What could be reasonings behind this?

I am running a higher fat diet this time, but fats are a few whole eggs, EVOO, walnuts/almonds. Protien is pretty high and carbs are moderate.

Woudl cardio help bring my HDL back to satisfaction or is this something to be concerned about?

AAS are notorious for lowering HDL levels. Search for "niacin" on this site - you'll find plenty of threads covering HDL/LDL and supplements to help. Oftentimes they don't get back to normal until you cycle off though.
