Cholesterol disorders refer to conditions that affect the levels of cholesterol in the body, which is a fatty substance essential for various bodily functions. High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often termed "bad" cholesterol, can lead to the buildup of plaque in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Conversely, low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, known as "good" cholesterol, can also pose health risks. These disorders can be influenced by factors such as genetics, diet, and lifestyle. Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels through blood tests is important for early detection and management. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and exercise, and medications like statins to help regulate cholesterol levels.
