Hello doctor!! Currently I am working in Japan, I have regular check-ups according to the company's regulations, the result is that I have dyslipidemia LDL 60~119mg/dl but my result is 41. A year ago, I had the same problem with my examination, my eyesight gradually decreased. I would like to ask a doctor to advise me what to do, what effect does my low-LDL status have, doctor? Thank you sincerely.

Hello,
The role of cholesterol in the body is:
Raw material for the production of tissues. Supports the production of sex hormones. Supports the excretion of bile in the liver. All three roles of cholesterol above are very important, and all require the presence of cholesterol. But when cholesterol is high, it is also the source of many diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases.
Thus, your blood cholesterol level is low, but not cause for concern. Treatment is usually dietary modification. You should eat enough nutrition, exercise also helps balance cholesterol for the body. Increase some foods rich in unsaturated fats such as fish, fresh milk, dark chocolate, green vegetables, foods made from soybeans, olive oil... to help increase good cholesterol for the body. You should get tested periodically for complete advice.
Thank you for trusting and sharing your concerns with Vinmec Health System. Wishing you good health and good work. Best regards.
