Hello
Report suggests increased LDL level.Cholesterol level is within normal limit.
You need further investigations like complete liver function test,,RBS,ultrasound of abdomen.
In such conditions,I suggest diet and life style changes.If condition persists then tablet atorvastatin 10 mg at night after dinner can be prescribed.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.Avoid alcohol if you take it.
You should avoid fried and junk food.
You should do exercise and go for walking.
Take lot of fibres in your diet.
Take Care
