I had to have my cholesterol

bloods checked after being on medication for a

while.

My cholesterol has actually gone up since last September

Serum total cholesterol level was 6.8 mmol/L ( Range <5.00 mmol/L)

now 7.3

Serum triglycerides was 2.9 mmol/L (Range <2.30 mmol/L)

now 2.6 mmol/L

Serum HDL cholesterol level was 1.5 mmol/L (Range >1.00 mmol/L)

now 1.8 mmol/L

Serum LDL choesterol level was 4 (calculated) range <3.00 (calculated

now 4.3 (calculated)

Total cholesterol HDL Ratio was 4.5 ratio Range 3.50 ratio

now 4.1

Liver function tests

Plasma gamma GT level was 45 u/l range <35.00 u/l

still 45 u/l

Serum potassium was 5.3 mmol/l (range 3.50 -5.30 mmol/l)

now 5.8 mmol/l

GP asked if I ate lots of bananas and tomatoes. I eat possibly 2 bananas a week

( have as a sandwich, no butter....trying to make sure that I do not eat too

much fat!!) Have a few tomatoes on a salad.

Now advised not to eat either. I have been put on the lowest dose of

rosuvastatin as previous medication has increased fibromyalgia pain.

Serum urea has also gone up from 5.7 mmol/l to 7 mmol/l ( range 2.50-7.00

mmol/l)

Any comments advice would be greatly appreciated.
