Elevated LDL may be caused by genetic factors, or it may be caused by poor dietary habits and decreased ability of the liver to metabolize lipids.
1. Genetic factors: Some patients are congenitally prone to elevated LDL, even if they maintain good eating habits and good dietary patterns, they still produce high LDL anemia in the blood.
2. Bad dietary habits: If you have irregular diet or bad dietary habits for a long time, and often consume food with high content of fat and cholesterol, it will lead to obesity because of the frequent intake of more calories in the body, which in turn will cause the elevation of blood lipids, total cholesterol as well as LDL cholesterol, and so on.
3. Decrease in the ability of the liver to metabolize lipids: Because the human liver can synthesize LDL, and at the same time, the liver will also metabolize LDL, when the liver metabolizes LDL after the decline in the ability to metabolize LDL, there will be a rise in LDL.
In addition, other conditions can also lead to elevated LDL, you should go to the hospital in time for examination, after clarifying the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out appropriate treatment.
