Was passiert wenn die Cholesterinwerte zu niedrig sind?
Ist der Wert niedriger, erhöht sich das Risiko für eine Gefäßverkalkung. LDL (das „schlechte“ Cholesterol) sollte bei bis 160 mg/dl liegen, sofern keine weiteren Risiken für eine Gefäßverkalkung hinzukommen.
Was passiert bei zu niedrigen Cholesterin?
Liegt im Blut demnach ein zu niedriger Gehalt an HDL-Cholesterin vor, kommt zu wenig Cholesterin in der Leber an. Das kann ein Hinweis dafür sein, dass sich Ablagerungen in den Gefäßen bilden und eine Arteriosklerose (Atherosklerose) entsteht.
Is 88 a good or bad LDL cholesterol level?
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, LDL Cholesterol levels fall into the following categories, illustrated by the table below, where mg/dL means milligrams per deciliter of blood. Using the data above, you can see that a 88 LDL Cholesterol level falls into the Optimal category.
What is LDL (low-density lipoprotein)?
LDL (low-density lipoprotein), sometimes called “bad” cholesterol, makes up most of your body’s cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke.
What happens when LDL cholesterol is too high in the body?
The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke. When your body has too much LDL cholesterol, the LDL cholesterol can build up on the walls of your blood vessels. This buildup is called “plaque.”
What should your LDL level be to have a healthy heart?
Yet side effects such as muscle problems were no more common among those with LDLs under 60 than in those with higher LDLs. Aim for an LDL below 100 mg/dL (your doctor may recommend under 70 mg/dL) if you are at high risk (a calculated risk* greater than 20\%) of having a heart attack or stroke over the next 10 years.
