dont naturally produce
cholesterol produced
liver
low ldl- suffer from mental and developmental retardation
abetaliporoteinemia
severe hypertriglyceridemia- pancreatitis, xerostomia, xeropthalmia
lipoprotein lipase deficiency
accumulation in the plasma- pathognumonic tuberous xanthomas
dysbetalipooproteinemia
decreased production of HDL, some association premature cardiovascular disease
apolipoprotein a1 gene defects
increasd risk for cad, extremely low hdl
tangier disease
reduced conversion of cholesterol to cholesterol esters in the plasma- hemolytic anemia, corneal opacities, low hdl
lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase LCAT
HDL high levels
over 60
HDL low levels
over 40
total cholesterol - hdl - (triglycerides/5)… triglycerides must be less than 400
LDL lipid pannel equation
with atherosclerotic vasular disease
LDL over 190
DM age 40-75 with ldl of 70-189 without atherosclerotic dz
individuals with dm, ldl 70-180 and 10 year cv risk over 7.5%
statin therapy
desireable triglycerides
less than 150
borderline triglycerides
150-199
high triglycerides
over 200
elevated in inflammation
not specific to cvd
useful if borderline cv risk
less than 1- low risk
1-3- intermediate risk
over 3- high risk
