Hyperlipidemia

Hyperlipidemia is a systemic disease in which the level of blood lipids is too high, which is abnormal in fat metabolism or function, which makes plasma lipids higher than normal. It means that the blood cholesterol or triglyceride is too high, or the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol is too low, which is called dyslipidemia in modern medicine. Hyperlipidemia is also divided into two types, primary and secondary. The former is related to environment and family genetics. The latter is caused by diabetes, hypothyroidism, obesity, pancreas and so on. It is particularly high in middle-aged and elderly people. According to statistics, the number of people with high blood lipids has reached 200 million, and because there are no obvious symptoms in the early days of high blood lipids, it is easy to be ignored by patients. They all occur unknowingly. In the end, they can only occur during health checkups. Found, so it is also called: the silent killer.
