Hyperlipidemia is a group of metabolic abnormalities resulting in combinations of elevated serum cholesterol. The most common type of hyperlipidemia is high cholesterol. Other forms of hyperlipidemia include hypertriglyceridemia and mixed hyperlipidemia, in which both cholesterol and triglyceride levels are high.
High cholesterol can be inherited, but it's often the result of unhealthy lifestyle choices, which make it preventable and treatable. A healthy diet, regular exercise and sometimes medication can help reduce high cholesterol. Hyperlipidemia is usually quite manageable, though, the emergency events should be avoided. The key is an early diagnosis and treatment plan to prevent its progression.
Hyperlipidemia vs. Hypercholesterolemia
If client has hyperlipidemia, client has high lipid levels - including triglycerides and LDL - in the blood.
Another type of cholesterol problem is called hypercholesterolemia. That means only the LDL levels are too high.
Consequences
Atherosclerotic plaque formation in blood vessels → Causes narrowing, possible ischemia, and may lead to thromboembolus formation → Result in cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease.
