5. Who’s at Risk?

As mentioned, mixed hyperlipidemia is passed on from the patient’s parents. There is no other way to get the condition that we know of, but there are some factors that can make the condition worse for those that already have it. Some of these additional factors can be avoided, but others cannot.

One factor that can make the condition worse is diabetes, and another is hypothyroidism. Alcohol abuse is another factor that can worsen mixed hyperlipidemia, and obesity is another potential contributing factor. These conditions will cause the patient’s blood fat levels to be even higher than had they not had them.
