V low HDL - do I need to cruise

[Manualtrt]

Hi.

Just received my lipids back on a blast of test, npp, primo and var.

I am keen to get your advice on managing my HDL and whether I should return to a TRT dose? I was planning another 6 weeks currently 10 weeks in.

Very happy with my LDL, I’m taking 4mg pitavastatin, ezetimibe, bempodoic acid

That’s not terribly low HDL. I’d carry on, especially with a 46 LDL

0,74 is actually "high" in my book ..
just finish your blast.

Hard to have good HDL levels with low cholesterol. As for what to do. Depends on how long it has been that way and how often you plan on doing such things in the future. Health is a long term thig not just 1 snapshot in time.
