Normal Lipid Levels and Diagnosis of Hyperlipidemia
Disease description:
I have undergone lipid profile testing multiple times, but the reported normal ranges seem to fluctuate and lack consistency. I would like to ask the physician: What are the standard reference ranges for lipid parameters, and how is hyperlipidemia diagnosed?

Dr. Liu Aifen
Hello, hyperlipidemia is mostly associated with unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits, as well as stimulation from smoking and alcohol consumption. A diagnosis of hyperlipidemia can be made when laboratory tests reveal elevated triglyceride or cholesterol levels. Regarding your condition, it is recommended that you maintain a regular daily routine, engage in appropriate physical exercise, avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, follow a light and balanced diet rich in vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water. Medications such as Hawthorn Lipid-Lowering Pills may also be used for treatment. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
