What the people often call blood stickiness is called hyperlipidemia in medical terminology, which is caused by elevated triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood plasma, resulting in thick blood. Although Chinese medicine does not have the name of dyslipidemia, there are some records of this disease in the medical texts of the past generations. According to Chinese medicine, hyperlipidemia is mainly characterized by heavy limbs, dizziness and other symptoms, which are classified as “phlegm”, “dampness”, “chest paralysis” and “vertigo” by modern doctors. Modern medical practitioners classify it under the categories of “phlegm evidence”, “dampness obstruction”, “chest paralysis” and “vertigo”. Chinese medicine believes that the cause of hyperlipidemia is excessive food intake or abnormal transfer, utilization and excretion, which can cause the accumulation of lipids in the blood, and the excessive lipids will become dampness and phlegm, which will infiltrate the pulse channels and cause the obstruction of qi and blood, and the dysfunction of internal organs, resulting in this disease. Western medicine believes that hyperlipidemia is due to excessive lipid synthesis in the body, excessive external uptake and metabolic disorders. According to the elevated lipid composition of the blood, hyperlipidemia can be divided into four major types, 1, hypercholesterolemia; 2, hypertriglyceridemia; 3, high LDLemia; 4, low HDLemia. If cholesterol ≧ 6.22mmol/L, triglycerides ≧ 2.26mmol/L, LDL ≧ 4.14mmol/L, HDL < 1.04mmol/L, can be diagnosed as hyperlipidemia.
