10 Hyperlipidemia Symptoms
Symptom #4: Swelling of Organs
Hyperlipidemia is a condition characterized by higher fat levels in the blood. These fats do not only cause harm to the cardiovascular system as they get deposited to the artery walls leading to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, but they also start depositing under the skin. This leads to the formation of xanthomas, as well as deposits starting in the inner organs of the body.
The organs that are commonly affected by high levels of fat in the organism are the liver, the spleen, and especially the pancreas. Of course, when inner organs are affected and they start swelling then their normal functioning will be affected leading to the development of various other signs and symptoms.
