Which department to see for high lipoproteins

High lipoproteins are mainly seen in the metabolic department. Lipoproteins are a class of globular particles formed by the combination of fats and proteins. The transportation of fat in the body relies on lipoproteins, which are normally involved in lipid metabolism. The presence of hypolipoproteinemia and hyperlipoproteinemia in the human body indicates that the human body is suffering from abnormal plasma lipoproteins. Because the human body lipoprotein metabolism, if there is an abnormality in one of the links, may cause hyperlipoproteinemia and hyperlipidemia, and hyperlipoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease have a close relationship, and usually hyperlipidemia also reflects high lipoprotein. Caused by hyperlipoproteinemia generally have two cases, one with family genetic related to belong to the primary, the other belongs to the secondary, the most common diet structure is unreasonable, followed by suffering from certain diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism, etc., and long-term use of certain drugs, such as contraceptives and so on. Lipoprotein abnormalities can greatly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as high LDL cholesterol can lead to coronary heart disease, and even the main risk factor for sudden death, so when you find a high lipoprotein should be diagnosed and treated in a timely manner.
