Examination and treatment of hyperlipidemia in Vienna

Elevated blood lipids (hyperlipidemia)

Hyperlipidemia refers to elevated levels of cholesterol (>200mg/dl), LDL (>130mg/dl) and triglycerides (>150mg/dl), usually with a shift in the corresponding lipid proteins in the blood. This lipid metabolism disorder can lead to secondary diseases such as heart attacks, strokes or various heart diseases. At JUVENIS in Vienna, we also examine and treat these elevated blood lipids and determine the causes.

Examination and treatment of elevated blood lipids (hyperlipidemia)

There are two types of hyperlipidemia:

  • Primary hyperlipidemia: hereditary

  • secondary hyperlipidemia: is caused by underlying diseases such as alcoholism, diabetes mellitus, obesity, liver disease, pancreatitis, etc. and can be cured by treating these diseases

As in most cases the disease does not cause any visual or localized changes, it can develop unnoticed. In very rare cases, xanthomas form in the skin (yellow lumps - harmless fatty growths) on the knees, elbows and around the eyes.
