Lipid Metabolism Disorders
Lipid Metabolism Disorders are conditions that affect how the body processes fats, leading to abnormal levels of lipids in the blood. These disorders can result in high cholesterol or triglyceride levels, which may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Common types include familial hypercholesterolemia and lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
These disorders can be caused by genetic factors, lifestyle choices, or other health conditions. Diagnosis often involves blood tests to measure lipid levels, and treatment may include dietary changes, medications, or lifestyle modifications to manage lipid levels and reduce health risks.
