Abstract

Hyperlipidemia refers to a group of inherited and acquired illness that is characterized by high lipid levels in the human body. A different, more accurate definition of hyperlipidemia is low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol, triglyceride, or lipoprotein levels that are higher than the 90th percentile when compared to the general population, or an HDL level that is lower than the 10th percentile. Cholesterol levels, lipoproteins, chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, apolipoproteins, and HDL are examples of lipids. It has been repeatedly demonstrated through a wide range of trails and studies that high levels of LDL cholesterol enhance a person’s risk for the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and consequent heart disease. This activity reviews the pathophysiology, pathway, treatment, evaluation, types, screening methods, complications associated with hyperlipidemia.
