Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Lipoprotein 470 typically indicates hyperlipidemia, a condition primarily characterized by elevated levels of lipids in the blood beyond the normal range. Once diagnosed with hyperlipidemia, patients must strictly follow their physician’s guidance and take lipid-lowering medications to control blood lipid levels; commonly prescribed drugs include those targeting triglycerides. During treatment, patients should avoid foods high in fat and sugar.
