What Does The Following Blood Test Result Indicate?

I got a blood test done today and my LDL cholesterol is 114.6 when the lb reference range shows 100 as optimal. Otherwise from general info I understand nothing less than 150 should be ok. Pls advise if test results vary from lab to lab each one has a different range ?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your LDL is slightly high. No need to big worry. Mild lab to lab variation and kit wise variation is there. Don't worry. Just be relaxed.
You should repeat your test after a month.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
