Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your wife's LDL is towards upper limit.
She need follow up investigations after three months.
She should also avoid saturated fat like red meat and high fat milk products.
She should increase her physical activity in the form of exercise,walking.
Her LDL should improve after diet restrictions and modified life style.
She should take iron and folic acid tablets as her hemoglobin level is towards lower side.She should take iron rich foods.
Rest of the findings are normal.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
