Please mention all other lipid parameters...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Total cholesterol of 261 is above normal and puts him at risks (mild to moderate) towards cardiovascular diseases.
At this age, I will consider starting medications to treat the same.

May I know all other lipid parameters to analyse the condition and suggest the right medications.
