Normal Ranges

With the Honest Explanation

Reference ranges vary between laboratories. This is not a quality issue — it is because each lab calibrates its instruments and methods using different populations, reagents, and equipment. A result of 5.5 at one lab may show as slightly different at another. What matters is: (1) always using the same lab for serial monitoring, (2) understanding your trend over time, not just one reading. Gini's ranges are calibrated on our specific instruments and validated monthly against international reference samples. Read the full explanation →

Result	Range	Clinical Meaning
Total Cholesterol — Desirable	Below 200 mg/dL	Lower cardiovascular risk
LDL — Optimal	Below 100 mg/dL	Best for high-risk patients; below 70 if cardiac history
HDL — Good (men)	Above 40 mg/dL	Protective; above 60 is ideal
HDL — Good (women)	Above 50 mg/dL	Protective; above 60 is ideal
Triglycerides — Normal	Below 150 mg/dL	Normal fat metabolism

Indian-Specific Context

Indians typically have lower HDL and higher triglycerides than Western populations — even at "normal" weight. Indian-specific cardiovascular risk is higher at lower cholesterol levels than Western guidelines suggest. Dr. Bhansali uses Indian-specific risk calculators.

Result Interpretation

What Your Result Means

If Your Result Is High

High LDL and total cholesterol increase heart attack and stroke risk. High triglycerides (above 500) can cause pancreatitis. Treatable with lifestyle and statins.

If Your Result Is Low

Low HDL (below 40 for men, below 50 for women) is an independent cardiac risk factor — often related to insulin resistance, smoking, or physical inactivity.

Price & Why Accuracy Matters

More Than a Lab — A Hospital Lab

Gini's Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Panel) costs ₹450. Budget standalone labs charge less. The difference is not just equipment — it is what happens when your result is abnormal.

At a standalone lab, you get a report. At Gini, if your Lipid Profile is significantly abnormal, our team flags it to Dr. Anil Bhansali's office. You are not alone with a concerning number.
