Summary
Hyperlipidemia is a condition where you have high levels of lipids in your blood, specifically above 200 mg/dL of triglycerides and above 190 mg/dL of cholesterol. Among the causes of hyperlipidemia are genetic predisposition, high-fat diet, and sedentary lifestyle. There are also secondary causes like diabetes mellitus, metabolic disorders such as hypothyroidism. Hyperlipidemia can lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
