[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saying this based on my own experience. That is high cholesterol (mine was over 400). But it turned out it was caused by a non-cardio condition that needed urgent attention. Since it was applicable in my case, I strongly suggest you talk to your PCP and have a comprehensive urinalysis done.[/quote] What caused that?[/quote] An autoimmune kidney disease. These diseases cause something called nephrotic syndrome, characterized by high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and edema. Untreated, this could result in end stage kidney disease. I suggested an urinalysis test because nephrotc syndrome causes protein in urine when it should be none. It is a quick and easy diagnostic test. I am on treatment that is an easy for me medication. They also put me on a statin and zetia, and in nine months my cholesterol is down to 125. I am feeling like perhaps they have overdone the cholesterol-lowering drugs.[/quote]
