Blood work results on TRT - high LP PLA2

Forgot to add some history! I'm 37 years old and my last cycle was 3 years ago of
500mg test cypionate for 16 weeks and 20mg of dianabol a day for the first 4 weeks.

2 years ago I started TRT with 90mg of test enanthate a week through a clinic.
Hi everyone so I had a more in depth cardio profile blood test a few days ago, for the first time testing Lp-PLA2, ApoB and Lp(a)

I got a seemingly high reading for my Lp-PLA2 which was 407 U/L with my labs green range being 0 to 560, and over 560 marked as high and red.

My reading online on Lp-PLA2 however is all in ng/ml and that the normal range for Lp-PLA2 is less than 200 ng/mL.

Do you guys know how good or bad my Lp-PLA2 result is? I understand that Lp-PLA2 is a very good indication of plaque being laid down in arteries.

The rest of my bloods came back as this


TOTAL CHOLESTEROL
0 - 5 Range
3.52 mmol/L




LDL CHOLESTEROL

You're in range what's the problem? Different labs have different testing parameters and different ranges
I got confuzed that my labs units were equivalent to the studies where 200ng/ml was the red line. So I was thinkin I was 407 when 200 was the upper safe limit.

It seems my U/L more than likely equal 560 at 200ng/ml, so the same threshold just different numbers at the threshold

So I’m at 407/560 x 100, therefore 72% up the ok range if anyone has info on what a really healthy number is to aim for that d be helpful as well thx
