Total cholesterol of 7.35 mmol/L is usually serious. Total cholesterol is mainly the value of the total amount of cholesterol contained in various lipoproteins in the blood, and it is able to assess the risk of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Usually the ideal range is <5.18mmol/L, the high range is 5.18~6.19mmol/L, and when ≥6.22mmol/L then it is in an elevated state, so total cholesterol of 7.35mmol/L has already reached the elevated range, which is usually more serious.

In addition, diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, obstructive jaundice, etc., which cause abnormal lipid metabolism, cannot be ruled out.
