DESCRIPTION  Hyperlipidemia refers to elevated blood levels of lipids (fats), including cholesterol and triglycerides. Most people with hyperlipidemia have no symptoms. However, hyperlipidemia is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), a thickening or hardening of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. CHD, in turn, can result in angina pectoris (chest pain), a heart attack, or both. Because of these risks, doctors recommend treatment for many people with hyperlipidemia. |

There are many different types of lipid particles (lipoproteins). Simple blood tests can determine levels of the most commonly measured lipoproteins, including total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. |
- Total cholesterol
-
An increasing total cholesterol level is associated with an increased risk of CHD. A "desirable" total cholesterol is usually <200 mg/dL. A total cholesterol of 200 to 239 mg/dL is considered borderline high, while a value 240 mg/dL is high. However, most decisions about treatment are made based upon the level of LDL or HDL cholesterol, rather than total cholesterol.
-
The total cholesterol can be measured any time of day. You don't have to be fasting.
- LDL cholesterol
-
The low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (sometimes called "bad cholesterol") is a more accurate predictor of CHD than total cholesterol. Higher LDL cholesterol concentrations have been associated with an increased incidence of CHD in a large number of studies.
-
Ideally, LDL cholesterol levels should be less than 100 mg/dL in patients who have had CHD in the past or CHD risk equivalents. People with levels of 160 mg/dL or higher have a high risk of CHD. Intermediate levels — 130 to 159 mg/dL — predict an intermediate risk of CHD. CHD risk equivalents include noncoronary vascular disease (stroke, TIA, abdominal aortic aneurysm, lower extremity artery disease), diabetes, or any individual with a 10 year risk of CHD that is 20 percent or higher. People with multiple (2+) risk factors have a LDL cholesterol goal of less than 130 mg/dL, and those individuals with zero to one risk factors have a LDL cholesterol goal of less than 160 mg/dL.
-
The LDL cholesterol can only be determined accurately on a blood test after fasting for 12 to 14 hours.
- Triglycerides
- HDL cholesterol
-
Not all cholesterol is bad. Elevated levels of HDL cholesterol actually lower the risk of CHD. In fact, a very high HDL (60 mg/dL) is considered a "negative" risk factor for CHD by the United States National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Guidelines [1]. That is, this level of HDL cholesterol removes one risk factor for CHD from the overall cardiac risk profile (see below). On the other hand, doctors may recommend treatment for people with low levels of HDL cholesterol (<40 mg/dL), particularly if they already have CHD.
-
Similar to total cholesterol, the HDL-cholesterol can be measured on any blood specimen. You do not have to be fasting.

When hyperlipidemia is defined in terms of a class or classes of elevated lipoproteins in the blood, the term hyperlipoproteinemia is used. Hypercholesterolemia is the term for high cholesterol levels in the blood. Hypertriglyceridemia refers to high triglyceride levels in the blood. |
The hyperlipidemia is classified the primary hyperlipidemia and the secondary hyperlipidemia . As the primary hyperlipidemia is genetic disease, its type is the familial combined hyperlipidemia, the hereditary hypercholesterolemia, and the Familial hypercholesterolemia. Specially, if the young are attacked with the disease, the primary hyperlipidemia by the hereditary disease is diagnosed. The secondary hyperlipidemia is caused by the unique life-style of the patient, the medicine, and other diseases. This secondary hyperlipidemia is the hyperlipidemia generally called. |
| Causes of Hyperlipidemia may include: |
- A family history of hyperlipidemia
- A diet high in total fat, saturated fat, or cholesterol
- Obesity
- Certain conditions, including:
- Diabetes
- Low thyroid
- Kidney problems
- Liver disease
- Cushing's syndrome
- Certain drugs, such as
- Hormones or birth control pills
- Beta-blockers
- Some diuretics
- Cortisone drugs
- Isotretinoin (for acne)
|
| SYNONYMS |
- Hypercholesterolemia
- Hypertriglyceridemia
- High blood cholesterol (HBC)
- High blood triglycerides
- High cholesterol
- High triglycerides
- Primary hyperlipidemia
- Secondary hyperlipidemia
- Acquired hyperlipoproteinemia
|
SYMPTOMS Hyperlipidemia usually does not cause symptoms. Very high levels of lipids in the blood may cause fat deposits in the skin or tendons. Extremely high levels of triglycerides in the blood can cause pain, enlargement or swelling (inflammation) of abdominal organs such as the liver, spleen, or pancreas. |
