You know it’s the big picture…and yes genetics then environment/stress…your cholesterol is fine, way better to have 233, then to be on a statin. anyways, Hdl is good probably will climb a bit. I dont know how old you are but of course the H/H w/ increased RBC is something you’re addressing. Ive been looking more lately at MCV, MCH, RDW, MCHC which are used for clasifying anemia basically but can tell things about the cell itself.
