Lipids are cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids and some lipids such as phospholipids and steroids in the blood plasma. Hyperlipidemia refers to high blood lipid levels, which can also be commonly referred to as hyperlipidemia. Patients with hyperlipidemia are prone to atherosclerosis, which can lead to coronary heart disease, stroke, fatty liver, acute pancreatitis, diabetes and other complications, and can cause more serious harm to the body. First, the harm: long-term high blood lipids, lipid deposits in the blood vessels, the existence of harm to the blood vessels, which will easily lead to patients with atherosclerosis, and atherosclerosis will further cause a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. If too much lipid is deposited in the liver and spleen, it can cause harm to the liver and spleen, for example, it can lead to an increase in the size of the liver and spleen. In patients with hyperlipidemia, yellow tumors may appear on the skin, thus affecting the aesthetics, as well as fundus changes may also occur. Complications: 1. Coronary heart disease: Due to the deposition of lipid substances, it can lead to atherosclerosis, slowing down the blood flow and thus blocking the blood vessels, which may lead to myocardial ischemia and thus induce coronary heart disease. Angina pectoris can occur, manifesting as chest tightness and pain for several minutes or repeatedly, and pain and discomfort can be felt in one or both arms, the back of the shoulder, and the stomach. 2. Stroke: Higher lipids can lead to plaque deposition in the cerebral arteries, causing narrowing of the cerebral blood vessels, which can lead to strokes in patients in severe cases. The patient may experience headache, dizziness, numbness and weakness of one limb, sudden blurring of vision, blindness, inability to speak, etc.; 3, fatty liver: excessive lipid deposition in the liver, liver metabolism disorders, will lead to fatty liver, some patients may also develop fatty cirrhosis if transaminases are elevated. Usually manifested as lack of appetite, weakness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, vague pain in the liver area, etc.; 4. Acute pancreatitis: If triglycerides in blood lipids are abnormally elevated, they may accumulate in the pancreas, and if pancreatic enzymes are activated, it will lead to the occurrence of acute pancreatitis. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, often occurring suddenly after a full meal or alcohol consumption, located in the upper middle and left abdomen or even the whole abdomen, which can be colic or knife-like pain, accompanied by abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms; 5, diabetes: patients with hyperlipidemia, due to the role of lipotoxin, can produce a certain inhibitory effect on the beta cells of the pancreatic islets, affecting insulin secretion, resulting in patients prone to diabetes. In addition, patients with hyperlipidemia are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes due to obesity and high fat cell metabolism, and their metabolites inhibit the conduction of skeletal muscle and pancreatic islet cells, resulting in insulin resistance and then hyperinsulinemia, which is more likely to induce type 2 diabetes after hyperinsulinemia. For patients with hyperlipidemia, attention should be paid to controlling daily caloric intake and increasing the amount of appropriate exercise to burn excess calories in the body. In addition, attention should be paid to regular monitoring of blood lipid levels. If blood lipids still do not reach the standard after diet and exercise, pharmacological intervention is needed. Statins, such as lovastatin, resulvastatin tablets, simvastatin, or beta lipid-lowering drugs, such as fenofibrate and benzofibrate, as well as proprietary Chinese medicine preparations, such as blood lipid kang capsules and lipobitai capsules, can be taken to keep blood lipids as much as possible within the normal range, but the above drugs need to be used under the However, the above drugs need to be used under the guidance of professional physicians.
