FART TASHAHHUM
AL-DAM (HYPERLIPIDAEMIA)
FART
TASHAHHUM AL-DAM (Hyperlipidaemia) is a
condition characterized by abnormally elevated levels of
lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood. It makes the patients
susceptible to accelerated atherosclerosis leadings to cardiovascular diseases
and stroke.
Hyperlipidemias are
divided into primary and secondary subtypes. Primary hyperlipidemia is usually
due to genetic causes (such as a mutation in a receptor protein), while
secondary hyperlipidemia arises due to other underlying causes such as diabetes.
Lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities are common in the general population and
are regarded as modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseasedue
to their influence on atherosclerosis.
In addition, some forms may predispose to acute pancreatitis.

Clinical features
Asymptomatic
Hyperlipidemia
has no symptoms, so the only way to detect it is to have your doctor perform a
blood test called a lipid panel or a lipid profile. This
test determines your cholesterol levels. Your doctor will take a sample of your
blood and send it to a lab for testing, then get back to you with a full
report. Your report will show your levels of:
total
cholesterol
low-density
lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol
triglycerides

Eat a heart-healthy diet
Making
changes to your diet can lower your “bad” cholesterol levels and increase your
“good” cholesterol levels. Here are a few changes you can make:
Choose
healthy fats. Avoid saturated fats that are found primarily in red meat,
bacon, sausage, and full-fat dairy products. Choose lean proteins like chicken,
turkey, and fish when possible. Switch to low-fat or fat-free dairy. And use
monounsaturated fats like olive and canola oil for cooking.
Cut out
the trans fats. Trans fats are found in fried
food and processed foods, like cookies, crackers, and other snacks. Check the
ingredients on product labels. Skip any product that lists “partially
hydrogenated oil.”
Eat
more omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids have many heart benefits. You can find
them in some types of fish, including salmon, mackerel, and herring. They can
also be found in some nuts and seeds, like walnuts and flax seeds.
Increase
your fiber intake. All fiber is heart-healthy, but
soluble fiber, which is found in oats, brain, fruits, beans, and vegetables,
can lower your LDL cholesterol levels.
Learn
heart-healthy recipes. Check out the American
Heart Association’s recipe page for tips on delicious
meals, snacks, and desserts that won’t raise your cholesterol.
Eat
more fruits and veggies. They’re high in fiber and
vitamins and low in saturated fat.

lifestyle changes aren’t enough to treat your hyperlipidemia, your doctor may
prescribe medication. Common cholesterol- and triglyceride-lowering medications
include:
pravastatin
(Pravachol)
rosuvastatin
(Crestor)
bile-acid-binding
resins, such as:
cholesterol
absorption inhibitors, such as ezetimibe (Zetia)
fibrates,
like fenofibrate (Fenoglide,
Tricor, Triglide) or gemfibrozil (Lopid)
