Hyperlipidaemia: Hyperlipidaemia is commonly known as high cholesterol. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is naturally produced in the liver because every cell uses it. Cholesterol is also found in fatty foods such as cheese, red meat, and eggs. High cholesterol levels might cause a build-up of fat on the arteries' walls, leading to blockage of blood flow to the heart and other body parts that could cause heart disease, heart attack or stroke. Cholesterol is mainly of two types, namely 'bad cholesterol' and 'good cholesterol'. Bad cholesterol comprises low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides (TG) which deposit fat in the arteries leading to their blockage. Good cholesterol consists of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which prevents the deposition of fats. Risk factors of high cholesterol are a high-fat diet, obesity, lack of physical exercise, and smoking. Usually, there are no specific symptoms of raised or high cholesterol levels, so it is advisable to have complete cholesterol tests (lipid profile tests) at least once a year. It will help monitor your heart health and risk of heart attack or stroke.
