The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of 530 is high, I would discuss this with your physician.

Your LDH cholesterol level was 530?  Yes, that is very high.  Are they starting you on a statin medication to lower it?  That would be wise.  Talk to your doctor.  Here is a helpful guide for lowering your LDL cholesterol through lifestyle to compliment medication you may be prescribed. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/files/docs/public/heart/chol_tlc.pdf.  Make sure to exercise if you are allowed on a regular basis as that raises HDL which brings down your bad cholesterol numbers.  

Let us know what the doctor suggests for you.  Hang in there.
