Elevated blood lipids (hyperlipidemia)

Elevated blood lipids mean that certain fat levels in the blood—such as cholesterol or triglycerides—are above the recommended range. Over time, this can increase the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack, or stroke.

The most important values include:

• Total cholesterol

• LDL cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”)

• HDL cholesterol (“good cholesterol”)

• Triglycerides

These values are determined through a blood test.

Common causes include:

• unhealthy diet

• Lack of exercise

• Overweight

• genetic predisposition

• Diabetes mellitus

• Smoking or alcohol

Elevated blood lipid levels usually do not cause any immediate symptoms for a long time. As a result, they often go unnoticed and are only detected during a routine checkup.

Untreated high blood lipid levels can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of:

• Heart attack

• Stroke

• Circulatory disorders

• Cardiovascular diseases

significantly increase.

The diagnostic process includes:

• detailed medical history

• Blood tests

• Assessment of individual risk factors

• additional cardiovascular tests, if necessary

After the diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan is developed. This may include:

• Dietary changes

• Exercise and Weight Loss

• drug therapy

• regular inspections

Yes. The following are particularly important:

• balanced diet

• regular exercise

• Quitting smoking

• Weight loss

• Reducing sugar and saturated fats

Medication may be appropriate if:

• the values have risen sharply

• there is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease

• Lifestyle changes alone are not enough

The frequency depends on individual risk and test results. Regular checkups are especially important if you have existing risk factors.

The cost depends on the scope of the diagnostic tests and treatment. An initial consultation (depending on the necessary examinations) costs between €290 and €350.

You can get the exact prices during a personal consultation.

Since these are medical examinations and treatments, health insurance may often cover some or all of the costs.
