Lipid Disorders

Lipid disorders refer to abnormal levels of fats (lipids) in the blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. These conditions can lead to heart disease, stroke, and other health issues. High levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol or triglycerides can clog arteries, while low levels of "good" HDL cholesterol can increase risk. Factors influencing lipid levels include diet, weight, physical activity, and genetics. Managing lipid disorders typically involves lifestyle changes like healthier eating, exercise, and, when necessary, medication. Regular check-ups can help monitor lipid levels and reduce health risks.
