[QUOTE="broker, post: 184117, member: 25926"] At face value my cholesterol numbers were only a little elavated, particularly LDL at 127. however, thats not why he put me on crestor. He put me on crestor because my ldl particle number was over 21000 !!! Should be under 1200. thats why people with seemingly good cholesterol numbers can die from heart attacks. Most docs, unless a cardiologist, wont bother to check the ldl particle number and particle size. you can have a decent LDL number but a high particle number which can be dangerous. you want large particles and low number. Mine were smaller with a very high number. with the crestor, they are now at a low range. however, I am now only using 2.5 mgs of crestor opposed to 5mgs to see if my glucose returns to normal while still maintaing good lipid numbers, particularly LDL number. We shall see. If glucose is still a little elevated ( mine was 103 ), i will try every other day since crestor has a long half life. Vince, im on flomax, a urinate a decent amount and im guessing thats the reason for Albumin being at the higher end of normal. last test my creatine was high but now within the normal range. if you have elevated ldl or even slightly elevated but diet and workout only to still be elevated, statins are great meds. I say great meds if your blood work shows no adverse results. [/QUOTE]
