Causes
Causes include genetics (familial hypercholesterolemia), poor diet, obesity, physical inactivity, and underlying endocrine issues like hypothyroidism.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is made through a simple fasting blood test called a lipid panel, which measures Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and Triglycerides.
Treatment Options
Treatment is a combination of lifestyle interventions and targeted medical therapy to achieve optimal lipid levels.
- Dietary modification and nutrition planning
- Statins or other lipid-lowering medications
- Exercise regimens
- Management of related metabolic conditions
