Total cholesterol of 6.19mmol/L is borderline and not very high, but it should be considered in the context of the patient’s age, underlying disease and other lipid indicators.
The normal value of total cholesterol is <5.2mmol/L, >6.2mmol/L is considered to be elevated to a dangerous level, and 5.2-6.2mmol/L is a borderline level, which is not serious, but requires regular monitoring and dietary and exercise interventions.
Total cholesterol can not be used as a specific and sensitive indicator in the diagnosis of disease, the main clinical role is as atherosclerosis and some cardiovascular disease risk assessment, and clinical use of statin lipid-lowering drugs is recommended to regularly monitor cholesterol indicators, in order to readily adjust the dose of medication and frequency.
If dyslipidemia is detected, it is recommended to consult a physician in time to formulate a treatment plan under the guidance of a physician.
