Hyperlipidemia

At Khadke Hospital, we understand that hyperlipidemia, commonly known as high cholesterol, is a condition marked by elevated blood lipid levels, particularly cholesterol and triglycerides. While cholesterol is essential for critical bodily functions such as hormone production and maintaining cell membrane health, excessively high levels can lead to fatty deposits in the blood vessels. These deposits increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke, as they can restrict or block blood flow.

Cholesterol levels are measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) of blood, with an ideal total cholesterol level typically below 200 mg/dL. Regular cholesterol screenings are key, as high cholesterol often shows no symptoms.

Our team at Khadke Hospital focuses on proactive management, emphasizing lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and, if necessary, medication to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. We’re committed to helping patients reduce their cardiovascular risks and improve their long-term health with comprehensive, individualized care plans.
