What does hyperlipidemia mean?

Hyperlipidemia is the elevation of cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipid components in the blood. Hyperlipidemia refers to the elevation of lipid components in the blood, generally including LDL, triglycerides, cholesterol, etc. The causes of hyperlipidemia are many, such as hereditary factors, personal lifestyle and dietary habits, chronic diseases, and medication stimulation. Hyperlipidemia has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, but the symptoms may cause yellow tumors on the skin, atherosclerosis caused by lipid deposition, or enlargement of the liver and spleen, fatigue, etc. If hyperlipidemia is not treated actively, the patient may have to be treated. If hyperlipidemia is not actively treated, it may cause coronary heart disease, fatty liver, stroke, pancreatitis, diabetes and other complications. Hyperlipidemia should be adjusted through life diet, pay attention to low salt, low sugar, low fat, high vitamin, diet appropriate exercise, with cholesterol-lowering drugs (simvastatin, resuvastatin) or triglyceride-lowering drugs (fenofibrate, benzafibrate, etc.) for treatment. If you suffer from hyperlipidemia, you should actively seek medical advice and follow the doctor’s instructions.
