Dr. Kou Linlin
Patients with elevated lipoproteinase levels often exhibit persistently high test values that fail to decrease, significantly increasing their risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases—such as myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, and cerebral thrombosis. Additionally, this condition places increased strain on both the kidneys and liver, posing substantial harm to overall health. Patients are advised to strictly control their dietary protein intake in daily life.
