Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Familial hypercholesterolemia is a hereditary disorder that causes very high levels of cholesterol in the blood from an early age, due to a genetic alteration that hinders its elimination.
How it shows up: It frequently produces no obvious symptoms, although in some cases fatty deposits may appear visible under the skin or near the eyes.
Why pay attention to it? By remaining elevated for years, cholesterol can affect the health of the heart and the blood vessels, so its monitoring is important, especially if there is a family history.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist and the general practitioner assess this type of disorder, with support from the nutritionist regarding dietary habits. If there is high cholesterol in your family, discussing it with a professional helps with timely care.
