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 associated lipoproteins in the blood. This lipid metabolism disorder can lead to secondary diseases such as Heart attack, stroke or various heart diseases. At JUVENIS in Vienna, we also dedicate ourselves to the examination and treatment of these elevated blood lipids and determine the causes.
