the presence of excess fat or lipids in the blood
Too high a level of fats (lipids) in the blood. See also: Syndrome X.
elevated levels of blood fats (e.g., triglycerides, cholesterol).
Abnormally elevated levels of fat in the blood.
the presence of high levels of fat-protein (lipoprotein) molecules in the blood
An increase in levels of triglyceride and cholesterol in the blood that can lead to heart and vascular (blood vessel) disease and/or pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
High lipid (fat) levels in the blood.
A general term for the presence of excessive amounts of fats (e.g., cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood.
a higher than normal amount of fats or lipids in the blood. Hyperlipidemia is linked to high cholesterol and heart disease.
High blood levels of fat (lipids). Sometimes these are genetic problems. ( See genetic cholesterol disorders.)
An elevation of lipids (fats) in the bloodstream. These lipids include cholesterol, cholesterol esters (compounds), phospholipids and triglycerides. They're transported in the blood as part of large molecules called lipoproteins.
The state of having elevated lipid levels in the blood.
Too high a level of lipids (fats) in the blood.
Excessive quantity of fat (cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood.
High Cholesterol. More information
(hyperlipiDEEMia) Abnormally high levels of lipids in the blood
An excess of lipids in the blood.
High levels of lipds (fats) in the bloodstream; high cholesterol.
a general term for a group of disorders in which lipid levels in the blood are abnormally high, including hypercholesterolemia
a general term for elevated concentrations of any or all of the lipids in plasma, e.g., hypercholesterolemia; a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
excess levels of fats in the blood. These fats can be triglycerides, or cholesterol. Hyperlipidemia is often associated with increased risk of heart disease and strokes. There are genetic disorders that predispose to hyperlipidemia.
High levels of fat in the blood. This is associated with high cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
High levels of fats in the body.
The presence of high levels of fats in the bloodstream. Two types of fats are included— triglycerides and cholesterol (which includes LDL and HDL cholesterol), and the lipoproteins (including high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein).
Incrased level of fats (lipids) in the blood. .
Higher than normal fat and cholesterol levels in the blood.
An abnormally large amount of lipids (fats) in the circulating blood. The major components are high-density cholesterol (HDL), also known as good cholesterol; and low-density cholesterol (LDL), also known as bad cholesterol; and triglycerides (TG). Hyperlipidemia is commonly referred to as high cholesterol.
is an elevated blood level of fatty substances, including cholesterol and triglycerides, and is a major cause of coronary artery disease.
Excess fats or lipids in the blood.
An increase in the blood levels of triglycerides and cholesterol (fats) that can lead to heart disease and inflammation of the pancreas. As related to HIV, hyperlipidemia is a side effect of HAART. (All protease inhibitors have been shown to cause hyperlipidemia in clinical studies.)

condition characterised by a high level of lipids in the blood
Hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia or dyslipidemia is the presence of elevated or abnormal levels of lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood. Lipids (fatty molecules) are transported in a protein capsule, and the density of the lipids and type of protein determines the fate of the particle and its influence on metabolism.
