What is hyperproteinemia?

summary

Hyperlipoproteinemia refers to the increase of plasma cholesterol (TC) and / or triglyceride (TG). In fact, it is a manifestation of the elevation of one or several types of lipoprotein in plasma. In recent years, it has been gradually recognized that the decrease of HDL-C (high density lipoprotein cholesterol) in plasma is also a disorder of lipid metabolism. What is hyperproteinemia? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

What is hyperproteinemia?

The clinical manifestations of hyperlipidemia mainly include two aspects: one is xanthoma caused by lipid deposition in dermis; On the other hand, atherosclerosis caused by lipid deposition in vascular endothelium leads to coronary heart disease and peripheral vascular disease.

Because the incidence of xanthoma in hyperlipidemia is not very high, the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis takes quite a long time, so most patients with hyperlipidemia do not have any symptoms and abnormal signs. Patients with hyperlipidemia are often found in blood biochemical tests (determination of blood cholesterol and triglycerides).

Xanthoma is a kind of abnormal localized skin protuberance. Its color can be yellow, orange or brown red. It is usually in the shape of nodules, plaques or papules, and its texture is generally soft. It is mainly due to the accumulation of phagocytosis of lipid macrophages (foam cells) in the dermis, also known as xanthoma cells.

matters needing attention

Through a variety of ways to carry out extensive and repeated health education, advocate scientific diet, balanced diet, regular physical exercise, prevent obesity, quit smoking, limit alcohol, and combine with health publicity and education of prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases, so as to keep the blood lipid in the population at an appropriate level. In addition, regular health check-up is helpful to detect dyslipidemia as soon as possible and should be treated in time.
