Thick blood usually refers to high levels of lipids or lipoproteins in the blood, which can be responded to by measuring LDL, HDL, cholesterol and triglycerides.
Thickness of the blood can be determined by blood lipid tests. Lipids include triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, steroids and other substances. They are essential for the metabolism of cellular life activities. Clinically, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, cholesterol, lipoprotein A and phospholipids can be measured.
The normal levels of these indicators vary and need to be determined by a medical professional. High blood lipid levels increase the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. It is recommended that people with dyslipidemia should follow a low-salt, low-sugar, and low-fat diet, and should exercise in moderation to maintain a reasonable body weight.
Meanwhile, lipid-lowering drugs such as Rosuvastatin can be used for control. However, it should be noted that the drug needs to be used under the guidance of the clinician, and unauthorized use of drugs is prohibited. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time for treatment of dyslipidemia.
