Is 217 high cholesterol

Answer 1

Cholesterol is measured through a test called a lipid panel or lipid profile. The test is measuring the milligrams of cholesterol per deciliter of blood. Total cholesterol below 200 mg per deciliter is considered in the normal range. 200-239 is considered borderline high, and 240 or higher is considered high.
