LEC LIPIDS PART 2 - LIPID DETERMINATION Flashcards
(183 cards)
Disorders of lipids
Arteriosclerosis, obesity, hypertension, DIABETES MELLITUS and other abnormalities
Good prognosis if lipid
Early detection of deranged blood lipid profile
age for screening for lipid
20 years old, if the test is normal repeat again after 5 yrs
if not, depends on the physician
- Indications for Lipid Profile include:
- ⁃ Screening for primary & secondary
hyperlipidemias - ⁃ Monitoring for risk of atherosclerosis
3.⁃ Monitoring treatment of
hyperlipidemias/Dyslipidemia
preanalytical considerations
biological variations such as
- Age: cholesterol levels increase with age.
- Sex: women have lower level than men except in childhood & after early 50’s.
- Season: cholesterol levels are slightly higher in cold periods.
- Food intake: daily intake of fat increases cholesterol levels.
- Medical conditions: thyroid, liver, and kidney diseases
- Acute illness
- Life-style: higher in sedentary and poor diet habits
explain the cholesterol level in terms of age
it increases with age
describe the gender relation of cholesterol
women have lower level than men except in childhood and after early 50`s
high in menopausal stage
can season affect cholesterol?
higher in cold cholesterol
why do menopausal women has high chole or high lipid profile?
because estrogen came from chole, if the cholesterol are can’t be converted into estrogen any longer, it will be deposited and stuck in the blood stream elevating lipids in the body
daily intake of fat increases cholesterol levels
true or false
true
in hyperthyroidism, chole is low because?
because of fast metabolism
if we have liver disease, do we have high or low chole?
low, 85% of chole is produced by the liver. If the liver is defected, there will be no organ that will produce it
describe the lipid profile of chronic alcoholic patients
low
describe the lipid profile of moderate alcoholic patients
high
