My Dad is reasonably in shape for a 56 year old, maybe a stone overweight. He has recently diagnosed high cholesterol, which has apparently recently increased again to 7.2, despite a very good diet including a number of cholesterol-reducing products such as spreads, yoghurts etc.
Now they say they want to do some sort of Liver test.
My questions:
1) what is the measurement error? Could it be affected by time of day etc?
2) What is the relationship with the liver, and is this something to worry about? Dad is worried, esp. given our poor family history (his dad died unexpectedly of a heart attack at 58).
