Hyperlipidemia is the elevation of fasting blood triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations. This condition may be inherited or may be a consequence of another disorder such as hypothyroidism, alcohol dependence, kidney failure, and diabetes mellitus and can also raise the risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. It is not an illness itself but merely a condition that can be linked to serious diseases and can be prevented by lifestyle modification and medications. Cases of hyperlipidemia in the Philippines increase spontaneously in the recent years.
