I then lost it and demanded a blood sample be taken straight away or I will call the local paper and have this put in next week's publication. My blood was being drawn 2 minutes later.
Sorry Dibbles, I couldn't wait for you. I had a MISSION to accomplish.................................MISSION ACCOMPLISHEDBrilliant @adrian207 Looks like you'd sorted it before I even managed to read all the posts and reply
I am not 100% sure on this, but the triglycerides are not counted as cholesterol. The LDL is usually estimated from the balance/deficit of the others. None of mine have ever added up to the total and I don't think they are intended to. There are other elements that don't get recorded.
I maybe very wrong in my thinking ....but as you are not required to be seen tomorrow , that things we hope are going to be ok ....I asked the receptionist if she could tell me what the problem was and she just said no but if I hung on a minute she would ask the GP. She then came back with "She can't discuss the matter over the phone, but she will let you know what you need to know after they have taken another sample and when you come in and see her". We then made a date for the 26th.
I think it's bloody ridiculous that they are allowed to play these cloak and dagger games with people. I am going to look into who to complain to as I did notice a complaints procedure notice hanging up in the surgery.
Thanks for your reply
It's the calculatorThanks Adrian, but even that doesn't work. My total is higher than my HDL+LDL+ 20% Trigs on each of the last 7 tests I've had.

This blood sample was taken at 8:45 am, just 45 minutes after I'd take my medication which included aspirin and I had an Atorvastatin late on the night before.
I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
But not in my caseHigh ALT, AST levels can be caused by alcohol too.
