Overview
Classification
Causes
Secondary causes of dyslipidemia may cause either an increase in total-cholesterol/low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) or an increase in total triglycerides & very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C)
Increase in Total Cholesterol and LDL-C
- Hypothyroidism
- Nephrosis
- Dysgammaglobulinemia (systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple myeloma)
- Cholestatic hepatic diseases due to abnormal lipoproteins (e.g. primary biliary cirrhosis)
- Administration of protease inhibitors (treatment for HIV infection)
- Administration of progestin or anabolic steroids
Increase in Total Triglycerides and VLDL-C
- Chronic kidney disease
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Obesity
- Excessive alcohol intake
- Hypothyroidism
- Administration of anti-hypertensive therapy (thiazide diuretics or B-blockers)
- Administration of corticosteroids
- Severe stress that increases endogenous corticosteroid concentration
- Elevated concentrations of estrogen (administration of oral (not transdermal) estrogen therapy, oral contraceptives, or pregnancy)
- Administration of protease inhibitors (treatment for HIV infection)
