The name, date of birth, and collection date printed on this lab sheet should be checked against your own records before treating these results as final — a mismatched name or an unexpectedly old collection date is one of the most common, and most avoidable, sources of confusion once a report is in hand.
Jordan's results reflect a generally healthy profile with three findings worth a closer look: a fasting glucose result above range, an LDL cholesterol level above range, and an HDL cholesterol level below range. Alongside these, one marker — MCV — sits just above range without a clear pattern of concern behind it. The remaining 21 measured values, spanning blood counts, kidney function, electrolytes, thyroid function, and core vitamin status, all fall comfortably within expected limits. None of today's findings, taken together, describe an urgent situation — they describe a metabolic and cardiovascular picture worth discussing and monitoring with a physician over the next few months.
The complete blood count, kidney function panel (including calculated eGFR), core electrolytes, liver enzymes, thyroid panel, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and ferritin all fall within normal, healthy ranges, with no signs of anemia, kidney impairment, thyroid dysfunction, or nutrient deficiency at this time.
Taken as a whole, today's labs describe someone whose blood counts, organs, and thyroid are functioning well, but whose blood sugar and lipid profile have started drifting in a direction worth addressing before they become harder to reverse. This is a very common, very actionable pattern — not a diagnosis, but a clear signal for a focused conversation with a physician about metabolic and cardiovascular health.
A complete blood count evaluates the number, size, and health of the cells that carry oxygen, fight infection, and help blood clot.
1 value to discuss
Six core measurements of red cells, white cells, and platelets, drawn from a single tube of blood.
This panel checks blood sugar regulation, kidney filtration, and the core electrolytes that keep cells, nerves, and muscles working normally.
1 value to discuss
Fasting glucose, kidney markers, and the body's main electrolytes, checked together in one blood draw.
CKD-EPI 2021 (creatinine-based) Using creatinine 0.97 mg/dL, age 42, male
Normal kidney function is generally considered ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73m².
Jordan's estimated filtration rate is comfortably within the normal range, suggesting his kidneys are clearing waste from the blood efficiently.
A lipid panel measures the different types of fat-carrying particles in the blood that influence long-term cardiovascular risk.
3 values to discuss
Total cholesterol broken down into its LDL, HDL, and triglyceride components.
| Value | Your Result | This Lab Range | Range Often Used in US | Read Against Both |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LDL Cholesterol | 162 mg/dL | Under 130 mg/dL | Under 100 mg/dL (optimal) | Above both this lab's ceiling and the commonly used US optimal threshold. |
| HDL Cholesterol | 38 mg/dL | Above 40 mg/dL | Above 40 mg/dL (men) | Below range under both conventions. |
US cardiology guidance often targets a lower LDL ceiling than the general reference range printed on a standard lab report, particularly for anyone with additional cardiovascular risk factors — worth raising directly with a physician rather than relying on the lab's own range alone.
LDL ÷ HDL 162 ÷ 38
A ratio under 3.5 is generally considered favorable for cardiovascular risk.
Jordan's ratio is above the favorable threshold, driven by the combination of an elevated LDL and a below-range HDL — this pairing is a more informative signal than either value alone.
Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, energy, and temperature, while this vitamin panel checks three of the nutrients most commonly screened for deficiency.
All values in range
TSH and Free T4, the two most common first-line thyroid screening markers.
Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and ferritin — three of the most frequently checked nutritional markers.
Moderate physical activity: can modestly raise HDL and improve insulin sensitivity compared to a sedentary baseline over time, which means today's glucose and HDL findings may respond meaningfully to small, sustained changes in training volume rather than requiring medication as a first step.
No reported medications: rules out several common medication-related causes of an elevated LDL or glucose (such as certain steroids, beta-blockers, or thiazide diuretics), pointing the conversation with a physician more toward diet, activity, and family history.
Each question below is built from a specific number on your sheet.
My fasting glucose came back at 107 mg/dL, just above the 99 mg/dL cutoff. Does this warrant a hemoglobin A1c or repeat fasting glucose, and what would confirm or rule out prediabetes?
My LDL is 162 mg/dL and my HDL is 38 mg/dL, giving an LDL/HDL ratio of 4.26. Given US guidance often targets a lower LDL ceiling than this lab's printed range, where do you think my personal target should sit?
Is there a connection worth exploring between my slightly elevated glucose and my lipid panel, or should these be treated as two separate issues?
My MCV is just barely above range with no other red blood cell abnormality. Is this worth a repeat CBC, or is it common enough not to chase further?
Given three related findings in the metabolic and cardiovascular categories, repeating a fasting glucose and full lipid panel gives enough time to see whether lifestyle changes are moving these numbers in the right direction, without waiting so long that a genuine upward trend goes unnoticed. Repeating this panel in about 3 months keeps the thread of your record unbroken.
Bringing this full report — not just the flagged values — gives your physician the complete picture, including which markers are already healthy, so the conversation can stay focused on what's actually changed.
Jordan, none of today's findings describe an emergency, but together they're a clear, specific, and very actionable early signal — exactly the kind of thing this report exists to help you catch and act on early.

23 measured values. 18 normal, 2 borderline, 3 outside range.
The average size of a single red blood cell. Values slightly above range with no other abnormality are common and often not clinically significant on their own.
A calculated estimate of how efficiently the kidneys filter waste from the blood, based on a creatinine result adjusted for age and sex.
Often called "bad" cholesterol — a particle that can deposit into artery walls over time when levels run high, contributing to cardiovascular risk.
Often called "good" cholesterol — it helps carry excess cholesterol away from artery walls back to the liver for removal.
A signal sent from the brain to the thyroid gland; it's usually the first marker checked to screen for an underactive or overactive thyroid.
A protein that stores iron in the body — a low level is one of the earliest signs of developing iron deficiency, often before anemia appears.
