Lipid Dysregulation

Meaning

Lipid Dysregulation, or dyslipidemia, is a clinical state characterized by abnormal concentrations of lipids and lipoproteins in the bloodstream, including elevated total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, or triglycerides, and often low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. This metabolic imbalance significantly increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and is frequently linked to underlying hormonal and metabolic syndromes. Precise identification and management of this dysregulation are vital for preventative health.
