Please read my comments later in the thread. Don’t infer anything about middle-range LDL from patients with extremely low-range LDL.

Ogushi suggests that the appropriate LDL cholesterol level for men is between 100 and 180 milligrams per deciliter of blood. He suggests women should have a level of at least 120 milligrams.

This is where you want it to be! Don't stop taking statins and go above those ranges!!!

Even with a big statin dose my LDL is still 182.

Thanks. We’ll definitely want to look closely at the numbers.
