The term “hereditary hyperlipidemia” should mean “hereditary hyperlipidemia”, which is generally difficult to cure. Hereditary hyperlipidemia is a primary hyperlipidemia mainly due to genetic mutations that cause lipid metabolism disorders, affecting the absorption of fat components, resulting in blood lipid levels exceeding the normal range. Most patients do not have obvious symptoms and signs, and a few patients may have symptoms such as xanthoma, atherosclerosis, cardio-cerebral thrombosis, etc., which may also cause complications such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and pancreatitis. Hyperlipidemia is usually treated with drugs such as simvastatin, and in severe cases, it can be treated with surgical procedures such as partial ileocolic resection and portacaval shunt. However, these treatments cannot change the patient’s genes fundamentally, and there is no effective gene therapy at present, so it is difficult to cure hereditary hyperlipidemia, and it requires long-term treatment and regular rechecks. Patients with symptoms of hereditary hyperlipidemia are advised to go to regular hospitals for consultation and treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
