With the rapid development of modern society and economy, people’s life and work rhythm accelerated, some such as “KFC, McDonald’s” and other high-calorie, high-sugar, high-fat, high-salt diet is favored by more and more people, unknowingly, many friends unknowingly suffered from “hyperlipidemia “The following is a brief talk about “hyperlipidemia”. First of all, let’s talk about the blood lipids that we are all very concerned about. Lipids is the general term for neutral fats (cholesterol and triglycerides) and lipids (phospholipids, glycolipids, etc.) in blood plasma. So some of you may ask, is blood lipid a harmful substance? In fact, lipids within a certain range are not harmful, but are essential for human growth and development. Therefore, lipids play an important role in human physiological activities. However, elevated lipids may promote atherosclerosis in the body, which in turn increases the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and this needs to be given sufficient attention. Let’s talk about the etiology of hyperlipidemia. The process of lipoprotein metabolism in the blood is extremely complex, regardless of the cause, if caused by factors such as abnormal lipoprotein synthesis and metabolic process can lead to dyslipidemia. It can be divided into primary and secondary dyslipidemia. The former is mostly caused by familial genetic defects of lipoprotein abnormalities, while the latter can be caused by systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, liver and kidney metabolic diseases, excessive alcohol consumption, etc. It can also be caused by certain drugs, such as certain diuretics and glucocorticoids, etc. What are the clinical manifestations of hyperlipidemia? The prevalence of hyperlipidemia increases with age. Most patients with hyperlipidemia do not have any uncomfortable symptoms or abnormal signs, but are detected during routine blood biochemical tests. The main danger of elevated lipids is that it can promote the development of atherosclerosis. The deposition of lipids under the endothelium of blood vessels can cause atherosclerosis, resulting in early onset and rapid progression of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease, and then it can cause skin yellow tumors and hyperlipidemia fundus changes, etc. Therefore, we need to raise sufficient awareness among patients. What tests do patients need to go to the hospital to confirm the diagnosis of hyperlipidemia? Generally speaking, it is enough to measure fasting (12-14 hours fasting) plasma or serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL and other lipid-related indicators, and then diagnose hyperlipidemia based on the test results. It is important to note that patients should refrain from eating high-fat foods and alcohol at the last meal before the blood draw to avoid affecting the accuracy of the test results. Finally, I would like to tell you about the treatment of hyperlipidemia, which is also the most important concern of our patients and friends. 1, need to be clear, lipid regulation treatment is generally long-term, or even lifelong, the majority of patients and friends need to be prepared in advance psychologically. 2, in the treatment, no matter what the situation is to adhere to the lifestyle adjustment. Weight loss, weight control to make the body mass index standard, quit smoking, low salt and low fat diet, limit alcohol consumption, appropriate exercise, and actively participate in physical exercise. 3.If the blood lipid level is not reached despite the lifestyle intervention, it is necessary to lower the blood lipid level with the help of drugs. In the process of drug treatment, the blood lipid level should be monitored in time to guide the treatment, the adverse reactions of drugs must be monitored, and liver function, kidney function and blood routine should be checked regularly. 4, in the clinical often used lipid-lowering drugs are statins, such as simvastatin, Rosuvastatin, lovastatin, etc., the specific application of which type of lipid-lowering drugs, how long it needs to be applied, need to go to the regular hospital to consult a specialist, do not take drugs on their own, in order to avoid physical discomfort and drug adverse reactions.
