LDL cholestrol of 48 indicates what?

Blood test result of Lipid profile

That you need to ask your doctor for some more answers! sorry

To correctly answer this question you need to tell about the rest of your lipid profile. Just on this one result, it may appear you have an increased cardiac risk but that also depends on your total cholesterol, triglycerides and hdl's. Consult with your doctor for the full explanation and just how much at risk you may be.
