Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Familial combined hyperlipidemia is an inherited disorder of fat metabolism in which different types of lipids in the blood, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, become elevated. Because it has a familial component, it can appear in several members of the same family.
Characteristics: It usually causes no obvious symptoms and is detected on blood tests; over time, elevated lipid levels can affect cardiovascular health.
Associated factors: It combines a genetic predisposition with lifestyle elements, such as diet and physical activity.
Which specialist treats it? The internist and family physician can coordinate the evaluation, with support from the clinical dietitian for dietary guidance. If there is a family history or abnormal results, discussing it with a professional helps define appropriate follow-up.
