What are the reasons for low total cholesterol

First, there are two reasons for low cholesterol. One is secondary hypocholesterolemia, which is more common in hyperthyroidism, liver damage, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis and so on. The other is primary hypocholesterolemia, which is caused by unbalanced diet, long-term vegetarianism, partial diet and low cholesterol intake.

The second aspect: there are many reasons for the high total cholesterol, most of which are due to the abnormal liver function after the damage of liver cells and the blocked excretion of bile, resulting in the increase of total cholesterol. Elevated total cholesterol, usually seen in patients with hepatitis, in liver cirrhosis or severe hepatitis and other liver cells are seriously damaged, will lead to elevated total cholesterol in the blood.

The third aspect: some non pathological factors, such as malnutrition, anemia, intake of drugs containing vitamin C, heparin, kanamycin, etc.; long-term high-fat diet, high calorie diet and genetic factors, lack of exercise, mental work, mental stress, etc. can also cause changes in the total cholesterol value.
