ABSTRACT The term hyperlipidemia means that the level of blood lipids (fats, cholesterol, and triglycerides) is elevated more than normal leading to a dangerous complications. These are large globular particles that contain an oily core of nonpolar lipid (cholestryl esters of tryglycerides) surrounded by a polar coat of phospholipids free (i.e. unesterified) cholesterol and apoproteins. There are six classes of lipoproteins (table 1) that differ from one another in size, density and properties of triglycerides and cholesterol. Hyperlipidemia is most commonly associated with high-fat diets, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity diabetes. There are also genetic causes. Familial hypercholesterolemia, one form of hyperlipidemia, is the most common dominantly inherited genetic disorder in humans worldwide. It results from mutations in genes involving proteins in a form of cholesterol called low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) that can lead to early-onset atherosclerosis. The preventive approach should include behavioral changes and avoidance of fatty foods, promoting a healthy diet and physical activity
