For example, hyperlipidemia includes hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and mixed hyperlipidemia. And the decrease of high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration in blood is not good for health.
2 Total cholesterol (TC)[ Normal range: 2.85-5.69 mmol/L]
It is one of the important risk factors of atherosclerosis. The increase of this index is mainly seen in hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism and so on. In addition, smoking and drinking related to personal bad living habits will also increase it. The decrease indicates intestinal malabsorption, liver disease, hyperthyroidism, etc.
3 Triglyceride (TG)[ Normal range: 0.45- 1.69mmd/L]
It is the most abundant lipid in human body. The increase of this index is mainly seen in hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism, biliary obstruction and acute pancreatitis. Decline indicates hyperthyroidism, hypoadrenocortical function, severe liver function damage, etc.
4 High density lipoprotein (HDL-C)[ Normal range: 0.90- 1.90 mmd/L]
Its main function is to transport the cholesterol in the surrounding tissues and cells to the liver, metabolize and excrete excess cholesterol to maintain the normal cholesterol level in the body, and it is a protective factor for coronary heart disease. The increase of this index is mainly seen in chronic liver diseases, chronic toxic diseases and hereditary hypercholesterolemia. The decline indicates that there may be coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, cirrhosis, diabetes, chronic renal insufficiency and so on.
