Clinical information

Hyperlipidemia, characterized by elevated levels of lipids (these carry dietary fats) in the blood, is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and other metabolic diseases.

These lipids include cholesterol and triglycerides, which can be harmful when present at high levels.

Hyperlipidemia often has no symptoms, and many people may not realize they have it until they undergo a lipid panel blood test. Complications may include coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, stroke, and more serious problems.

Healthcare providers will recommend certain lifestyle modifications and medications to help wth managing hyperlipidemia.

Synonyms include

• High cholesterol
• High triglycerides
• Dyslipidemia
• High blood fats
• Hyperlipemia
• Dyslipidemia hyperlipidemia
• Elevated lipid levels
• Elevated triglyceride levels
• Abnormal cholesterol metabolism
• Bile acid downregulating low density lipoproteins
• Bile acid elevating plasma cholesterol levels
