Dyslipidemia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Dyslipidemia is an abnormality in blood fat levels, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. It usually does not produce symptoms, which makes it important to detect through laboratory tests.
When to seek care? An evaluation is worthwhile when there is a family history, overweight, diabetes, or a blood test with out-of-range values, since keeping it under control helps protect cardiovascular health.
Contributing factors: diet, a sedentary lifestyle, genetics, and other metabolic conditions can contribute to its development.
Which specialists treat it? The endocrinologist and the internist evaluate disorders of lipid metabolism, and the cardiologist gets involved when the goal is to protect the heart and blood vessels; nutritional support is often part of the approach. If your tests show abnormal values, discussing them with a professional will help you understand your situation and the measures most appropriate for you.
