Warning from lipid laboratory values

When blood lipid tests, the values ​​will be "alert" for clients of the danger signs to timely adjustments to lifestyle or treatment to control blood lipid disorders.

Dyslipidemia silently but cause serious consequences for health.

Dyslipidemia (aka increased cholesterol or hypercholesterolemia) is a pathological increase of harmful fat and reduced fat ingredients for body protection; and this is the main risk of hypertension, myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke, atherosclerosis ...

When testing blood fat, 4 key indicators that need attention, such as: total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides.

Cholesterol and triglycerides are carried in the blood by combining with a substance called lipoprotein HDL and LDL are. Associated with LDL cholesterol (LDL-denoted as c) the form when excess cholesterol will cause harm to the body. We transporting cholesterol in the blood, deposition in the arteries and is a key factor in plaque formation of atherosclerosis. Associated with HDL cholesterol (HDL-denoted as c) is a type of cholesterol is beneficial for the body. HDL-c against atherosclerosis process by carrying excess accumulation of cholesterol from the liver into the blood vessels return.

Thus, early detection want to do the full test to evaluate the status of fat in the blood. In the four test components have three redundant components will be harmful cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides; only one component to help protect the HD- cholesterol.

When viewing the test results to note the balance between the protection of HDL-C and LDL-harmful component c. If harmful component high and low protection components, the treatment of dyslipidemia can not delay. When there is abnormal in any component of blood fat, it was dyslipidemia. Also note the relevant factors such as age, heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes comes ...

The fact that many people do not eat fat, eggs, longtime vegetarian or lean people ... still dyslipidemia. It seemed ridiculous is because cholesterol has two origins: from the daily food of meat, fat, eggs ... only 20% of cholesterol in the body needs; The remaining 80% of cholesterol is synthesized by the liver from sugar, protein. When the body is weakened, reducing cell receptor activity limiting absorption of cholesterol. Thus, although not eat fat, many people still have dyslipidemia.

A breakdown of lipid values ​​used for comparison and evaluation of the condition.

Studies have proven, solve cholesterol disorders is necessary to limit complications of coronary artery, cerebrovascular complications and reduce mortality due to vascular complications.

2 treatments dyslipidemia including non-drug treatment and drug therapy. In particular, no drug treatment that is only done healthy lifestyle such as stopping smoking, not drinking too much alcohol, changing eating habits and exercise routine care only. If done well can be 15% -20% reduction in total cholesterol.

Treatment with medication will be applied after the application of the regime of non-drug treatment 3-6 months but still effective. The lipid-lowering drugs can cause many side effects, so patients should be followed only by your doctor.

According to the cardiologist, occurs when the body has problems dyslipidemia should have long-term plans. First of all, stop smoking, limiting alcohol, avoid foods high in fat, cholesterol; sports exercise regularly. Besides, can use natural herbs to help regulate cholesterol and control blood fats such as GDL-5 (in FAZ) ... to prevent and support treatment.

According to the World Health Organization, if total cholesterol 23mg% will reduce 20% -54% risk of cardiovascular disease. If HDL-c increase of 1.2 mg%, the 3% reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease.
