Cholesterol is one of the reference markers of blood lipids, which contains not only cholesterol, but also triglycerides, LDL or HDL. In a few people, high blood lipids may manifest as hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, mixed hyperlipidemia and low HDL cholesterol. To summarize, high blood lipids and high cholesterol are not the same thing, but hypercholesterolemia, or increased cholesterol, is also a high risk factor for high blood lipids. Generally, among people who are overweight, long-time smokers or long-term drinkers, hypercholesterolemia patients are more likely to be combined with hypertriglyceridemia or LDL with different degrees of increase or decrease, which will lead to lipid metabolism disorder. When the above phenomenon occurs in the body, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner, in order to take corresponding treatment measures for the condition.
