Hypercholesterolemia i hyperlipoproteinemia - are metabolic disorders connected with the increased content of various substances in the blood plasma.

Hypercholesterolemia is an increased content of cholesterol in blood plasma.

Hyperlipoproteinemia is a disorder in which excessive amounts of fat, cholesterol and triglycerides appear in the blood.

According to Family Hypercholesterolemic Fund, about 1 per 250 people around the world suffers from a pure or familial form of hypercholesterolemia.

Thanks to fast diagnostics and early inclusion of appropriate drugs we can avoid many complications and prolong life.

 


The most common symptoms of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipoproteinemia are:

♦ chest pain,

♦ small bumps on the skin, usually on the hands, elbows and knees or around the eyes,

♦ xanthoma - waxy deposits of cholesterol in the skin or tendons,

♦ small, yellow cholesterol deposits that accumulate under the eyes or around the eyelids,

♦ sudden loss of balance and coordination,

♦ sudden dizziness,

♦ disorientation

It is estimated that high cholesterol causes 4.5% of all deaths.

About 1 in 3 deaths from coronary heart disease are caused by high cholesterol. 

Hypercholesterolemia affects 60% of the adult Polish population, i.e. as many as 18 million people..


Among those 18mln almost 60% are unaware that they suffer from this disease, and only 11% are effectively treated.

Risk factors:

genetic load,

♦ obesity,

♦ hypertension,

♦ smoking tobacco products,

♦ płeć męska,>

♦ diabetes,

♦ age.
