What Is Hyperlipidemia?
1. Hyperlipidemia
Hyperlipidemia is the technical medical term for high cholesterol levels. It is a blanket term for a number of disorders that can cause you to have higher than usual levels of fats in your blood. It can be a very serious condition, and it is also very common. Cholesterols are made by our own bodies, while we also tend to have a lot of them in our food.
The good news that hyperlipidemia is a treatable condition, and most people with it will live a relatively normal life. Those diagnosed with hyperlipidemia will often need to make some quite drastic changes to their lifestyle, however.
