e296 triglycerides are higher than normal (150 or more), your risk of heart disease or stroke may be increased. If your triglycerides are 200 or more, your doctor may talk to you about your non-HDL cholesterol value. The non-HDL cholesterol is found by subtracting your HDL cholesterol value from the total cholesterol value and reflects the amount of cholesterol in all the lipoproteins that are harmful. Your non-HDL cholesterol should not be more than 30 above your LDL goal.If you did not fast the appropriate amount of time before your lipid panel, the laboratory will only be able to report accurately the total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol values. The LDL, VLDL, and triglyceride measurements will be influenced by any food you have eaten within the 9 to 12 hours before the laboratory test. If your total cholesterol or triglycerides are high, your doctor will want you to have a lipid panel done again after you have fasted the appropriate amount of time.
