Hypolipidemic treatment
From WikiLectures
The plasma lipid levels we strive to achieve with hypolipidemic treatment should be within normal limits.
Physiological ranges[edit | edit source]
- Total cholesterol <5.0 mmol / l;
- LDL-cholesterol <3.0 mmol / l;
- triglycerides <1.7 mmol / l;
- HDL-cholesterol > 1.0 mmol /l for men,> 1.2 mmol /l for women.
Treatment procedure[edit | edit source]
There are three main treatments available for DLP treatment:
- dietary treatment (eg: intermittent fasting)
- aerobic exercise (3 to 4 times a week);
- pharmacological treatment.
In overweight patients, weight reduction (at least 5-10% by weight) and (for smokers) quitting smoking are also required.
Pharmacotherapy[edit | edit source]
