A reduced HDL-C level is associate with ASCVD
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of HLP type 5 is usually by clinical presentation.
- History (including age of onset of symptomes in the patient and family members).
- Physical findings such as eruptive xanthomas and tendon xanthomas.
- Laboratory evaluation such as lipid levels and apolipoprotein assays.

The evaluation and treatment decisions of type 5 HLP should be based on patient-centered and individual circumstances. Lifestyle therapies, such as appropriate nutrition and physical activity, are important elements of ASCVD risk reduction, with or without lipid-altering drug therapy. For patients in whom lipid-altering drug therapy is indicated, statin treatment is the primary pharmacologic modality for reducing ASCVD risk.

Medical Therapy
When the triglyceride concentration is very high (≥500 mg/dL, and especially if ≥1000 mg/dL), the primary goal of therapy is to reduce the triglyceride level to <500 mg/dL for the intent of reducing the risk of pancreatitis.
Triglyceride concentration | First line of therapy |
---|---|
≥1000mg/dl | Triglyceride lowering agents such as ❑ Fibric acids ❑ High-dose [2 to 4 g/d] long-chain omega-3 fatty acids ❑ Nicotinic acid |
500-999mg/dl | ❑ Triglyceride lowering agents, ❑ Statins |
200-499mg/dl | Statin will generally be first-line drug therapy.If maximum tolerated statin therapy does not lower non-HDL-C below goal levels in patients with triglycerides 200 to 499 mg/dL, adding an agent that primarily lowers triglycerides may help to achieve atherogenic cholesterol goals. |
When triglycerides are between 200 and 499mg/dL, the primary targets of lipid therapy are non–HDL-C and LDL-C for the purpose of reducing ASCVD risk.
Lipid treatment goals to reduce ASCVD risk[1] | ||
---|---|---|
Risk of ASCVD | Indication for drug therapy | Goal of drug therapy |
Low ASCVD risk | Non HDL- C* level ≥190mg/dl LDL-C level ≥160mg/dl |
Non HDL- C level <130mg/dl LDL-C level <100mg/dl |
Moderate ASCVD risk | Non HDL- C* level ≥160mg/dl LDL-C level ≥130mg/dl |
Non HDL- C level <130mg/dl LDL-C level <100mg/dl |
High ASCVD risk | Non HDL- C level ≥130mg/dl LDL-C level ≥100mg/dl |
Non HDL- C level <130mg/dl LDL-C level <100mg/dl |
Very high ASCVD risk | Non HDL- C level ≥100mg/dl LDL-C level ≥70mg/dl |
Non HDL- C level <100mg/dl LDL-C level <70mg/dl |
Non–HDL-C comprises the cholesterol carried by all atherogenic particles, including LDL, intermediatedensity lipoproteins, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and VLDL remnants, chylomicron remnants, and lipoprotein.[2]
Secondary Prevention
- Lifestyle interventions are a key to efforts to reduce triglycerides that includes[1]
- weight loss if overweight or obese
- physical activity (≥ 150 minutes per week of moderate or higher intensity activity)
- Restriction of alcohol
- Restriction of sugar/refined carbohydrate intakes
- For patients with very high TG level (≥500 mg/dL),chylomicronemia will generally be present. For such patients, a low-fat diet (,15% of energy) may be helpful to reduce entry of new chylomicron particles into the circulation.[1]
- For patients with triglycerides <500 mg/dL, partial replacement of dietary carbohydrate (especially sugars and other refined carbohydrates) with a combination of unsaturated fats and proteins may help to reduce the triglyceride and non-HDL-C concentrations.
