A disorder in which the total cholesterol concentration in the blood is too high or imbalanced from high levels of the "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins and triglycerides) and low levels of the "good" cholesterols (high-density lipoproteins).
Abnormal levels of lipid (fat) in the blood.
A condition involving an increase in the level of lipids (e.g. cholesterol and triglycerides) in the body. Dyslipidemia is a common side effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
Disorders in the lipoprotein metabolism; classified as hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, combined hyperlipidemia, and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. All of the dyslipidemias can be primary or secondary. Both elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and low levels of HDL cholesterol predispose to premature atherosclerosis.
a condition marked by abnormal concentrations of lipids or lipoproteins in the blood, including lipid levels that are either higher or lower than normal, which is often a result of obesity
Dyslipidemias are disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, including lipoprotein overproduction or deficiency. These disorders may be manifested by elevation of the serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, and a decrease in the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration.
Dyslipidemia is a disruption in the amount of lipids in the blood.
