Knowing total cholesterol is interesting but only marginally useful. Suppose it shows you have total cholesterol of 160…. sounds great and it is, if your LDL is 90 and your HDL is 70. If your LDL was 140 and your HDL was only 20 you could be in severe danger of a BIG problem.
A little knowledge is interesting but it should not be viewed as valuable information or it could cost you your life. The complete lab test showing all the various component levels, as requested by your physician, is the only test that will keep you, and him, well informed and able to treat whatever is shown to be abnormal.
